419.0. "Where is Chris Foss?" by STKTSC::LITBY (My God, it's full of stars!) Sun Nov 30 1986 20:53

	 What has happened to the SF artist Chris Foss? He's
	 the  guy  who  used  to  do  the covers for Panther
	 Science  Fiction's  books.   He  also  designed the
	 decor  for  the first Superman film, and I think he
	 also  did some of the designs for the film "Alien".
	 You  may  also  have  seen  his  book "21st Century
	 Foss".

	 He seems  to  have  disappeared  from the scene - I
	 haven't  seen  any  books with his covers in a very
	 long  time.   Does anyone know what has happened to
	 him?

    I'm also a big fan of Foss. He's one of a select few artists who
    will get me to buy a book for the cover alone.
    
    I haven't seen any covers from him for a long time. Perhaps he
    moved into other areas. In addition to doing book covers (he
    also did some covers for thrillers by, among others, Gregory
    Jenkins) and film production artwork, he did some of the illos
    for, believe it or not, JOY OF SEX and MORE JOY OF SEX. He
    obviously has his fingers in a few different pies.
