Preface to
the Third Edition
This third edition was
done by scanning the second edition (published by Ted Pauls at TK
Graphics in 1974) into a computer. All known errors of the previous
edition were corrected and material accumulated since 1974 added. I
wish to thank the many fans who helped with additions and
corrections, especially T. G. Cockcroft, Chester Cuthbert, Dan
Steffan, Donn Albright, Stewart Sayah, Robert W. Chambers, David
Bates, and others whose names I neglected to record.
This third edition was
completed in May, 1994. It will be bound with the covers left over
from the first edition of 1970. The calligraphy on the cover is by
Alpajpuri (Paul Novitski).
Preface to
the Last Edition
This
last edition was completed in September, 2012, as a printout of the
version online. It will be bound with the covers left over from the
first edition of 1970.
Introduction
This Index is intended
to catalog all known artwork by the renowned science-fantasy
illustrator, Hannes Bok, that has been published. No attempt has been
made to cover unreproduced items, whether privately owned or in
museums. Nor has any attempt been made to trace the published
illustrations back to an original.
The great bulk of Hannes
Bok's illustrations appeared in the science-fantasy magazines of the
1940-1950 period. Also of importance, however, is the work he did for
books, mostly dust-wrappers, a number of sets of prints intended for
framing, and a considerable number of drawings for amateur magazines
in the science-fantasy field (referred to herein as `fanzines'). A
number of miscellaneous items such as bookplates and a calendar are
also catalogued.
It is felt that the
magazine and the book listings are very nearly complete, though on a
few items a lack of complete information is noted. It is difficult
even to make an estimate of the completeness of the fanzine and
non-science-fantasy listings.
Hannes Bok's style is
extremely original and distinctive, but due to the poor quality of
the reproduction in the magazines printed on `pulp' paper, there is
some doubt about the origin of some small uncredited and unsigned
drawings. Such uncertainty on the part of the compiler has been noted
in the listing. A small number of drawings signed `Dolbokov', which
are known to be collaborations between Hannes Bok and another well
known illustrator for the pulp magazines named Boris Dolgov, are
listed separately.
The compiler gratefully
acknowledges the aid of other researchers and collectors too numerous
to list. I must mention particularly, however, Emil Petaja of the
Bokanalia Memorial Foundation, who wrote the excellent biography of
Hannes Bok, And Flights of Angels.
It is hoped that all
errors and omissions will be reported to the compiler. Now that the
material exists as an ascii computer file, corrections and editions
will be easy to make. Anyone sending in a documented correction or
addition will recieve a corrected version. Address:

"F&SF 
Cover original & cover
PRINTS (the unlettered & the lettered ones) are so different from original
that it's like Isabel [Ashley] talking to a new acquaintance & her tone
when she's talking to merely ME. Hence anybody's liking printed version
is not apt to set well with me. I have original framed beside my bed & can
glare at it & cuss it out many times per day. I like the RESULT but I just
don't cotton to so much work for such horrendous (non-) reproduction.

[Brad Verter kindly send a transcription of these annotations
in Bok's own hand from his copy:
Bok's annotations in THE BLACK WHEEL:
Front endpaper inscription: "For Isabel and Harry [Ashley] with
thanks for their suggestions -- it took nine months to give birth
to this baby, and they were wonderful obstetricians. Hannes Bok, April 21, 1948"
p.32, bottom: "One page yanked out, by Judy O'Connor & Marty Greenberg,
because it was Merritt's notes for furthering the story and they couldn't
make sense of it -- thought it was all a printer's mistake."
p.33, top: "And here Mr. Bok takes over" with arrow pointing down to Ch. 8.
p.82, first column, 6 lines up from the bottom, there is an asterisk
after the line, "'First-footing?' I repeated." At the bottom of the
page is the following: "* First-footing, courtesy of Isabel (though
I'll bet she'll yelp that I got it all wrong!) Thanks, keed."
p.95, first column, there is a bracket in the left-hand margin
extending from the fourth paragraph (beginning "Henderson happened
along...") to the end of the sixth paragraph (ending "...soon to be
opened to us."), along which is written:
"Dialog: courtesy of Harry Ashley -- thanx, bub." ]

of Silver and Thistle, so Emil Petaja thought it was by Bok and he
should have known. And Damon Knight denies that it is his, even
though it appears to be signed `K'.

This is a book about pulp
sf illustration. Bok illustrations are reproduced as follows:
pp.8,24,37,91,111,128,129(3),130,135,138. The reproduction on p.111
is erroneously attributed to a 1942 issue of Famous Fantastic

Artfolios (listed chronologically)
`Engels' Folio - A set
of six b&w prints published in New York in the 1940's. Stewart
Sayah kindly sent me a copy of this. Jean Engels' name is apparently
associated with it because she arranged for it, but her name does not
actually appear on what I have. The cover sheet simply says `Hannes
Bok / Folio' in a blocky art font, and below in small print
`Published by Samuel English, 233 West 42nd Street / New York 18,
NY'. There is no date or copyright notice, but two of the plates are
dated 1946. In March 2007 I got an original set from Matthew Samton,
a nephew of Jon White.
The Powers
lithographs - A set of four lithographs printed in 1945 entitled `The
White Powers', `The Black Powers', `The Grey Powers', and `The Primal
Powers'. Reprinted original size by offset in 1969 by the Bokanalia
Foundation.
Utopia Publications - A
set of ten prints first announced in 1947 but not distributed until
1948. The cover is not by Bok. Utopia Publications was directed by
Charles McNutt (who later changed his name to Charles Beaumont) in
Los Angeles. The plates are 8.5x11 inches with borders, except for
the first two on sheets about 7x8 with no border. Originally
advertised at $1.50. They were used with: The Haunted Hour,
Weird Tales, Nov'41, p.105; The Yellow Sign, Famous Fantastic
Mysteries, Sep'43, p.130 (the `hidden faces' picture), dated 1943;
Girl and moth-like creature, Journey's End, Super Science Stories,
May'43, p.118, dated 1942; Crouching bat-winged figure with dog-like
creature in foreground, Something Out There, Weird Tales, Jan'51,
p.50, dated 1940; humanoid in conventional suit, playing wind
instrument while holding mouse with spectacles on his right palm,
Jitterbug, Stirring Science Stories, Jun'41, p.48; Man in
conventional dress seated on stone block reading book, with winged
serpent, said to be a portrait of Bob Tucker (also appears in the
artfolio in And Flights of Angels) dated 1947 - but the same image
with the name `Jack Grubel' on the stone appears as a bookplate;
feline humanoid with bow on tail reading from long scroll; woman
threatening antennaed humanoid with mouse sitting on her palm, Stone
Men of Ignota, Future Fiction, Aug'41, p.69; female figure probably
symbolizing the wind; nude female figure and four demons, dated
1945-1946. Note: Roy Squires offered for sale a copy of this artfolio
with an eleventh plate. This plate shows a string of bubbles and
cylinders trailing off from a group consisting of two winged
humanoids and three jointed-armed robots, said to be titled `Space
Junk'.
Fantasy Folio #1 -
Fantasy Fotos: This is mentioned in the September 3, 1949
Antiquarian Bookman (p.464) as being for sale for $5. The plates were
actual photographic prints taken by Emil Petaja from Bok paintings
and are 5x7 and black and white, but some were on tinted paper.
Prime Press--The Blind
Spot/The Spot of Life: A set of prints, about 9.5x6, of which 150
were published in Philadelphia in 1951, by the Prime Press. Six of
the plates are the same as the interior illustrations in The Blind
Spot (see book listing), while the other four were apparently
intended for The Spot of Life, a sequel to The Blind Spot, announced
by Prime Press but never actually published by them. One of each set
of prints is signed.
Sketchbook - A set of
fourteen pages of sketches photocopied from a sketchbook of Hannes
Bok's now (1970) in the possession of Jack Gaughan, plus a photograph
of Bok. Published jointly by the National Fantasy Fan Federation and
the Institute for Specialized Literature, and printed by Wally Gonser
in Seattle in 1967.
Bokanalia Foundation -
This non-profit foundation headed by Emil Petaja has published five
artfolios and two single prints, and has announced the publication of
a set of color prints, all from San Francisco:
Artfolio #1 - A set of
fifteen prints, mostly reprinted from the pulp magazines of the
1940's, all are 9x12 inches: Wings of the Lightning Land, Astonishing

probably previously unpublished. The earliest date is 1937, and is an
obvious attempt to imitate Beardsley's style.
Artfolio #3 - A set of
twelve prints, all but one 9x12 inches, one slightly smaller. An
accompanying sheet gives names for four of the plates: Wild Madge,
The Mermaid, The Snowman, and Mr. Mouse; this sheet also reprints
nine small rough sketches: Wild Madge (with wings, flying amidst
clouds); The Mermaid, The Snowman (shows the influence of Maxfield
Parrish); Mr. Mouse (which turns out to be the February 1950 Gnome
Press Calendar plate, titled `Helping Cousin Groundhog Find His
Shadow' there); Puppeteers, The Black Wheel, p.89; The White Folk,
The Black Wheel, p.107; The Black Horse, The Blind Spot, facing

Flights of Angels - This set of twelve prints is on the same deckled

p.66; Girl standing under tree, signed `Hannes Bok 1946'
A Memorial Portfolio -
Ten color plates, 8x10 inches, 1970, $12.50. These are
accompanied by a half-height 4pp pamphlet with a photograph of Bok
and a list of the ten plates. All pieces carry a copyright notice.
The plates are titled Starscape, The Jewel Rider and Others (part of
this appeared on the cover of the Nov'53 Fantasy Fiction), The
Enchanted City, Cat-God's Captive, Martian Landscape with
Geezilstines, Siegfried Slays the Dragon Fafnir, Woman Wailing
for Her Demon Lover, Strangers in a Strange Place, Alien Rider Under
a Golden Sky, and Ase on the Hillock.
Gene Nigra did two
artfolios -
Bok 1, 1975, limited to
750 copies. A small illo on the cover plus 8 page-size b&w
plates, said to be full-size from the original art except for a
slight reduction on #7. There is a list of sources and a reproduction
of a `mouse' signature. The plates are - two from The Long Dawn by
Noel Loomis (Jan'50 Super Science), two from Shadow Over
Innsmouth by H. P. Lovecraft (Jan'42 Weird Tales), The Outsider by
Lovecraft (Jun'50 Famous Fantastic Mysteries), Terminal Quest by Poul
Anderson (Aug'51 Super Science) War God's Gamble by Harry Walton
(Jun'51 Fantastic Novels), Martian Fantasy by H. A. Ackerman (Jun'41
Stirring Science).
Bok II, 1975, limited to
1250 copies. There is a cover illustration and a rough on the title
page, plus 9 plates, the last in color - Another's Eyes by John
L. Chapman (Jan'41 Super Science), Half Haunted by Gans T. Field
(Sep'41 Weird Tales), two plates, one dated 1950, said to be
previously unpublished, Interference by Walter C. Davies (Jul'41
Cosmic), Spot of Life, intended for an unpublished sequel to The
Blind Spot, The Man Who Didn't Breathe by Harry Walton (Nov'41
Astonishing), Treasure of Triton by Charles A. Baker (Spr'41 Planet
Stories), Brigands of the Moon by Ray Cummings (Fal'42 SFQuarterly)
Twelve Erotic Drawings -
color plates from drawings said to have been done in 1946. Unsigned
except a `K. Zucker' said to be faintly visible on the original for
the 12th plate. The originals are said to have been bought from the
Joseph Dunninger estate c.1983 and the artfolio produced to offer
them for sale at $24,000. Extremely lewd and in my opinion not very
good, but the Bok style can be seen in places
