This weeks rough from David Tayler is for 424 ‘Glory Hole’ by William MacLeod Raine. The last time I featured this cover my site was number 1 in Germany for those of a certain persuasion. I’m sure they were very disappointed to find it wasn’t quite what they were after but I hope I educated them to the fact there were more interesting things that knot holes in toilet walls.
Watching one of Jules Burt’s very informative videos recently I was interested to see a copy of ‘SF News’ I’d not come across before. It mentions two titles by Richard Cowper on the front page and I’m pleased to say I have the original artwork for ‘Twilight of Briareus‘ by Geoff Tayler. ‘Galactic Warlord‘ is featured on the back page with artwork for this, and other titles in this series, by Terry Oakes.
If you have a spare £5,000+ and are looking for something to buy then how about a PAN 1976 copy of ‘The Eagle Has Landed’ signed by eight members of the cast of the 1976 film namely Donald Sutherland (Liam Devlin), Michael Caine (Kurst Steiner), Jenny Agutter (Molly), Larry Hagman (Colonel Pitts), Sven-Bertil Taube (Captain von Neustadt), Judy Geeson (Pamela), Jean Marsh (Joanna Grey) and Siegfried Rauch (Sergeant Brandt).
Although it was back at the start of the year I’ve only just heard of the passing of artist Paul Sample on the 27th January. As I’m currently in Newcastle Upon Tyne I’ll have more on Paul next week.
