“One glance at a Paul illustration can change your life forever. I was eight years old when I laid eyes on an illustration he did for A. Hyatt Verrill story about a world with giant ants. It made me want to be part of a world of imagination and within a few years I fell completely in love with science fiction – all from this one illustration.” |
| -Ray Bradbury |
