Thomas Haller Buchanan shared this stunning illustration by the great Roy Krenkel: "The Golden Age of Pâtaliputra of the Gupta Empire." Krenkel drew science fiction and fantasy for EC Comics, and he painted covers for a bunch or Edgar Rice Burroughs novels.

Frank Frazetta said, "I met Roy Krenkel back in 1949 or 1950, and he has never ceased to be a constant source of inspiration to me — a truly conscientious artist who will not tolerate incompetence."

Even when Roy Krenkel drew reconstructions of historical eras of Earth, they looked other-worldly, as out of a dream.
