Jim Fitzpatrick, the cover to BOOK OF CONQUESTS, essentially a portfolio of his work in book form published in 1978 by Dragon's Dream (later Paper Tiger).
A second book, THE SILVER ARM, was released in 1981. Both were released in portfolio form, where I first encountered Fitzpatrick's work, courtesy of Bud Plant, at the time of its release.

The images and text are inspired by Irish/Celtic legends.

Work on a par with that of Barry Windsor-Smith's in the same period.
