Author Peter Straub. Pen & ink on Bristol board.
“After mixed success with two attempts at literary mainstream novels in the mid-1970s (Marriages and Under Venus), Straub dabbled in the supernatural for the first time with Julia (1975). He then wrote If You Could See Me Now (1977), and came to widespread public attention with his fifth novel, Ghost Story (1979), which was a critical success and was later loosely adapted into a 1981 film starring Fred Astaire. Several horror novels followed, with growing success, including The Talisman and Black House, two fantasy-horror collaborations with Straub’s long-time friend and fellow author Stephen King.”

Stephen Hawking, Theoretical Physicist and Author of A Brief History of Time.

Stephen Hawking is best known in the scientific community for his 1975 paper
“Particle Creation by Black Holes,” in which he demonstrated that black holes are not absolute vacuums from which nothing escapes. Hawking stated that radiation is emitted by black holes, and ultimately, that many such singularities will bleed radiation and, eventually dissipate. This radiation is therefore termed Hawking Radiation.
