Bob Larkin: Piranha (1978) DVD Lenticular Cover

The 1978 Piranha movie was re-released on DVD in 2011 with a magnificent Bob Larkin lenticular cover. Bob's movie poster was basically done for the foreign market, as evidenced by the blood flowing from the blonde in the red bikini.

The Savage Art of Bob Larkin - Doc Savage Sketch

Scotty- here is the Doc Savage sketch bookplate from my copy of The Savage Art of Bob Larkin.

Pretty sweet!

The Savage Art Of Bob Larkin

The Book everyone should own. Packed with many great illustrations by Bob. I was lucky enough to get one with a Doc Savage Sketch. I treasure it. I also love the stunning examples of Bob's Talent that are inside. So many wonderful pieces of art he has done through the years. Here is a scan of my Doc Sketch , it's splendid..The Special Sketch edition was limited to 50. Courtney Scan yours so I can see it!

Bob Larkin : Z-LENSMAN - David A. Kyle . E. E. "Doc" Smith

Bob did all three covers for the David A. Kyle
Lensman sequel. The Covers were much
better than the books which were real sleepers.
This is the cover to the third one, Z-Lensman.

Bob Larkin T-Shirts

I had 4 Bob Larkin shirts made up in 2009. That is Terry Allen modelling the yellow one at Doc Con #13 in Peoria, AZ in 2010, and Scotty Phillips wearing a green one outside of McKay's Used Books in Chattanooga, TN in May, 2011.

Terry is a massive Larkin fan who runs Fantom Press that produces all sorts of items for sale that benefit the Larkin family. Scotty is a massive Larkin fan who created this blog and is an accomplished artist, magician, radio personality and a thousand other talents.

I kept a green one and sent the other yellow one to Bob. My thought was that he needed a shirt to wear at conventions so people would know who he was. The famous Bob Larkin!

I have a guy who creates decals for windows and shirts, and I had him copy the famous Bob Larkin signature for these only 4 of a kind shirts.

Wear them proud and loud, fellas!

Bob Larkin Photo

Here is a picture I took of Bob at his home in Long Island holding a prototype of the Doc Savage statue. The date was August 14, 2009.

Wha a great day meeting Bob in person.

Reelart Doc Savage Statue

Here is the 2009 Reelart statue of Doc Savage that was sculpted off of Bob Larkin art. I took a picture of Bob holding the unfinished statue at his home on Long Island.

Bob also consulted on the final paint job of the statue.

Bob Larkin: The Rook #6

Here is the cover and original painting for Warren Magazine's The Rook #6 December 1980.

It is interesting to see the differences between the original painting and how it looks printed.

Bob Larkin: Conan Masthead Painting

Here is the artwork itself. Very nice, By Crom!

Bob Larkin: Just Before Dawn Movie Poster (1981)

Bob has done a ton of movie posters. He just doesn't remember them all! This one is from 1981.

Many of his movie posters were for the foreign market.

I found this picture of the original artwork on the Heritage Auction website. Too bad Bob didn't earn what this artwork is now going for back in the day!

Bob Larkin: Matthew Swain - The Deadliest Show in Town

Matthew Swain is "the 21st Century's toughest private eye in a future that doesn't work, where crime is the national pastime and the supercorps have the cops in their hip pocket. In a world like that, you've got to be quick - or crazy. Matthew Swain is a little of both." - back cover blurb.

This Bantam book was published in February 1982. This is the third book of the series.

I love this Larkin cover. Very well done with all the video screens showing Swain's face. The green color is pretty unique and very appealing.

I picked this book up at Bonanza Books & Comics in Modesto, CA. It is the store owned by Terry Allen's parents!

Bob Larkin: Star Trek - Mudd's Angels

This Bantam paperback was published in May 1978.

What a great cover. The 3 android women are hot. Who were your models, Bob?

I think it is funny that Mudd's hands are just about on the girls' rear ends! The dog!
