In this drawing artist Mike Wilks depicts, at the moment of its crumbling, the fantasy world of Pile, an extravagant place devoid of nature and its grace.
Wilks began writing and illustrating books in 1975. Soon after came Pile: Petals from St Klaed’s Computer, which paired Wilks’s intricate images with a poem by science fiction writer Brian W. Aldiss. Wilks rocketed to fame following publication of The Ultimate Alphabet in 1986, also publishing The Weather Works, The Ultimate Spot-the-Difference Book, The Ultimate Noah’s Ark, and more before establishing himself as a novelist with The Mirrorscape Trilogy, a fantasy adventure series.

Mike Wilks at his very best. The detail is superb. Not a puzzle for beginners, but a fine challenge for the experienced puzzler.
This puzzle has many hidden treasures, such as a teeny man hanging on a rope from a collapsing building. The entire work is created from black lines, with an incredible amount of detail. I tried to learn more about the City of Pile. It is the subject of a 1979 book long out of print. A very enjoyable puzzle.
Loved it. Looks great when done. Very difficult, but fair.
