In this issue, artists Greg Staples, James Montgomery Flagg, Sergio Toppi, and R. Kikuo Johnson.

From the publisher:

From the pages of 2000AD, to illustrating Robert E Howard and the Universal monsters, we bring you Greg Staples. His work in comic books, conceptual designs for movies, and his art for trading card games, and much more!

We revel in the digital artwork of Hawaiian-born New Yorker R Kikuo Johnson.

We profile James Montgomery Flagg, arguably responsible for recruiting every American male into the army with his iconic First World War poster.

We round off this issue with a visit to Italy and highlight one of that country's most original comic strip artists, the amazing Sergio Toppi.

More like a book than a magazine, illustrators is the art quarterly devoted to the finest illustration art ever published. With its unique blend of art and insight, it guides you through the stories behind the artists and their art, with features written by some of the leading authorities on this important art form.

As well as building into an indispensable reference library, illustrators gives readers an insight into the creative process, from the initial idea to the image potentially seen by millions.

Truly fabulous artwork abounds in every issue, much of the art taken from scans of the original work.
