Wolfe covers

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Ah, great, thanks, Tony.  I'd only seen the Shadow one - yes, these at least
are like (say) Moorcock covers and are not bad (still not quite doing
justice for me though).  Did you by any chance get and/or read these
versions when they came out in the (I presume) 80s?  I just wonder if that
helps give a certain sentimental/nostalgic value (which I would completely
understand).

The Hoof & Hide blog put up a great Flickr photostream of Wolfe covers that
include German, Japanese, French and others.  A few at least are better than
the standard ones we see over and over again:

about page 4 onward are generally FAR better than the English versions.
