The generous folks over at The Folio Society were kind enough to provide SYFY WIRE with an exclusive look behind-the-scenes at a number of early Vector That Fox sketches done for the project. "I got an email from them, saying, ‘Would you be open to the idea? We’re just sort of chasing the rights for it if you’re keen to do it.’ Obviously, I was very keen to do it and since the first book came out, it was nonstop people saying, ‘Please do The Lost World! Please do The Lost World!’" "I think it was literally a month afterwards," the illustrator recalls during a Zoom conversation with SYFY WIRE. Fan reception to the release was so positive, that Folio asked Breese if they were interested in crafting six more pieces for a collector's edition of the sequel. Jo Breese - a U.K.-based artist who goes by the professional title of Vector That Fox - faced a similar situation last year after illustrating a special hardcover edition of Crichton's dinosaur masterpiece for The Folio Society. Following the cultural and financial success of Steven Spielberg's film adaptation three years later, Crichton had no choice but to deliver a follow-up that became 1995's The Lost World. Shortly after the publication of Jurassic Parkin 1990, author Michael Crichton started to receive endless letters from readers, asking him if a sequel was in the cards.
