The legendary artist, Sanjulian—known to his friends as Manuel Pérez Clemente—celebrated his eighty-second birthday today. That would be well worth applauding by itself, but Sanjulian is still painting great covers for the likes of Tales from the Magician’s Skull and Creeps. His, it seems, is a well-nigh immortal talent.

I wrote an in-depth blog entry on Sanjulian’s life and career here. His ISFDB entry contains many pics from the 1970s to the 2020s. Without further ado, feel free to wallow in the glorious display of Sanjulian art below. Like Frank Frazetta, Sanjulian can seamlessly transition from horror to heroic fantasy to sci-fi.

Happy birthday, Manuel!
