I'm just discovering Royo, and have ordered half a dozen of his books in the past month. Secrets, Malefic, and Visions are all amazing! The quality of the artwork in Malefic is spectacular. The women are astoundingly beautiful, and the level of detail and realism is just breathtaking. Part of the reason I like these three books so much is that they emphasize fantasy themes, as opposed to the sci-fi themes found in Women, and the dark post-Apocalyptic themes of III Millenium. If you're new to Royo, get Malefic, Secrets and Visions - you won't be disappointed! The quality of the artwork in III Millenium is also good. Avoid Women - in my opinion, it's really cheesy and the artwork simply doesn't reflect the amazingly talented artist I've come to admire.

Book is in verry good condition.I love luis royo artwork and this book was in excellent condition .no writing on this book .or torn pages only wear I could see was some water marks on border of pics and cover.verrry small barely noticabl as faded the ink slightly.but hard to tell if it was intentionally put into the pic or not.so don't bother me.I can tell now it wasn't .but at first n w todays artwork could verry well hav been deliberate from an artist to off set n enhance the picture.

prompt delivery and as advertised

Interesting read

i love everything about the book. all of the art in it is amazing. and it got here with in good delivery time!

great drawings and good book size, Histories are basics, could be more strong in it. Good manofacture and design. It is better than secrets

Luis Royo is one of my favorite artists and I want to keep collecting his art. The way he keeps you wondering what his intention and story behind each painting opens up my imagination.
