| The Fantastic and Gothic Art of David Palumbo |

Fantasy art and illustration has a beautiful and rich history. From the beautiful and titillating Margaret Brundage covers for Weird Tales through the poster, magazine, and album art of Frank Frazetta to the contemporary work of Marc Silvestri, artists and illustrators have brought color and shape to worlds of wonder. Be they scenes from the past, the future, or lands that never were, art plays an important role in fleshing out description and dialog. Into this worthy tradition comes artist David Palumbo. Be it the historic flight of the first woman cosmonaut, Valentina Tereshkova, in June 1963; the return of the Cthulhu and the Old Ones to destroy a modern metropolis’ a Victorian image of Jack The Ripper, or creature art for the trading card game Legend Of The Cryptids, Palumbo brings a strong eye for detail, light, and color that immediately draws the eye. Parts of his paintings show detail with clarity, where others are intentionally vague. The figures often suggest a kinetic sense of impending motion that no photograph could properly convey. The faces are caught in expressions of terror, struggle, or bewilderment.

Now newly released images show how closely related the two are because the resemblance is uncanny. Hit the jump to check out the new images of Dane DeHaan as Green Goblin/Harry Osborn, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) holding on to some web for dear life, Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) embracing Gwen Stacy, The Rhino (Paul Giamatti) preparing for battle, and much more.
