This is a painting Greg did for a new part of FROZEN HELL that was only talked about in ‘Who Goes There’ but in the found novel of the story it is part of the narrative opening chapters:
“The thunder of the vast plume of steam bellowing through the growing pit was whipped away by the wind as the men threw themselves flat on the ice. A sky-shaking roar thrust fifty-foot blocks of ice into the air, freeing an incandescent, growing lake of molten, blazing metal.”
…
“The wavering curtains of the aurora overhead jerked suddenly, spiraled in a mad vortex of shimmering light, and beat down a savage stalk to the incandescent fury. From the mountain, from the ice, vast angry tongues of lightning crashed against the molten pool. Lesser lightnings darted from the tractor, from the steel treads to the ice.”…
This is a spectacular, colourful, image! It explodes when you open up the four-page plate. Greg’s composition didn’t actually change too much, but his finding of the colours and brightness was really found in the oil paint.
