Robert Garcia – Designer

Over 30 years helping my clients look their very best: Book designer, print production manager, art director in SF-fantasy-horror.

Overview

My goal: Books with Impact!.


It's led me to design over 200 hundred books, magazines, calendars, posters, chapbooks, and catalogs with clients including Avon Books, ERB, Inc., ERBbooks, DreamHaven Books, ISFiC Press, the World Fantasy Convention, Fedogan & Bremer, Kitbuilders Magazine, ISFiC Press, Douglas Klauba Artworks and more.


Recently, my favorite project has been as the page layout guy for the "over-the-top great" TARZAN OF THE APES Artist Edition for ERBbooks.


On the boards are THE BLOODY BRUSH: The Horror Art of Jill Bauman, FANTASTIC CHRISTMAS CARDS OF GEORGE BARR, and the 100th Anniversary Book of Fritz Lang's DIE NIBELUNGEN. Plus my pocket guide to international fantasy films 1913-1931 (The Silent Era).


My favorite book I packaged was the US edition of Vargo Statten's CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON novelization (licensed by Universal Studios).


As you can tell I specialize in Science fiction, fantasy, horror, comics in art, film and fiction. You want a genre book with Impact!, I'm your designer.
