Those Age of Misrule covers are absolutely spectacular. And I agree with Kimm about “The 13th Reality.” It’s unusual to see you working in B&W, but it’s an incredibly effective image.

Really great stuff sir. I love the space combat art, its covers like that that made me read many a sci-fi novel as a young man.
There is something about the figures on the cover of “The Terror” that suggest they are full of chickpeas, lentils and beer, but that is probably just my imagination.

You mentioned something about mistakes at the top – I’d be hard-pressed to come up with any in this collection.

That’s all in one year? Hell, that’d be an astonishing career!

Oooooo… I hadn’t seen the one for “KNOWING DARKNESS”. I like it! I also really like “THE 13TH REALITY”. You don’t do much black & white with sprinkles of color, but it is very effective here. Has good balance.

Cheers!
Kimm

Excellent work on all! I think my favorite right now is “Darkest Hour”…but that’s mostly because I reading that book right now. But that illustration of the kid on “The 13th Reality” is really sweet. Keep it up. We look forward to seeing more!
