Icons of the Fantastic: Behind the Scenes

In the Spring 2026 issue of Mythlore, I reviewed the book Icons of the Fantastic: Illustrations of Imaginative Literature from the Korshak Collection (2025), edited by Amanda T. Zehnder and David M. Brinley. The review is available freely online here. 

The new Summer 2026 issue of The University of Chicago Magazine has a profile of the Korshak alums, father and son, who put together the collection of art. It's kind of a behind-the-scenes peek.  Read the whole article here. 

Here is one of the glorious illustrations from the Collection:
