Robert Weinberg continues his personal look back at the earliest years of his almost four decades of collecting science-fiction and fantasy art with this third installment, which he titles “Meet Marty G.” Bob tells about getting art from some of the early practitioners of SF and Fantasy art, including Margaret Brundage, H.R. van Dongen, and Ed Valigursky. This installment introduces another major influence on Bob’s collecting: Martin Greenberg. Once again, we thank Bob for providing this on-going historical perspective (which has all the earmarks of a book in the making somewhere down the road), and also for providing select pieces from his personal collection to enhance his fascinating narrative.
