(urth) Wolfe covers

[Marc Aramini]

Thanks for the link Daniel.  I love the Japanese covers, and there is one from Long Sun with a glowing thing in a courtyard that looks pretty sweet, as well as (is that german?) a cover on autarkens citadel that is pretty awesome.  
 
The French covers are just too ... ... ... French for me. Je suis une femme.  Je suis un hombre.  Zut alors!  Je suis tous deux!
 
Never cared for the Pennington covers, I prefer the american tor/orb ones, more focus on lighting and Severian and I really like the loss of pieces of his suit as his moral progression matures and the increase of light.

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:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/hoofandhide/.  The non-English versions from about page 4 onward are generally FAR better than the English versions.

Hi Daniel,
are you familiar with the bewitching covers Bruce Pennington did for
the first British paperback edition of the New Sun tetralogy?

If not, these clumsy, long-ago scans I did should give you taste:

The cover for Shadow, in particular, pretty much defines what I see in
my head when I think of Urth.
