(urth) Wolfe covers

[David Stockhoff]

Those have a feel similar to that of some of the late 1960s Lord of the 
Rings covers: highly stylized, colorful, and slightly "off," but 
brilliant and reminiscent of the The Dying Earth. Seems Urth should be 
darker....

I don't know the artist but I'd know the covers when I see them. They 
appear here as edition #2:

I happen to like the "cheap" paperback covers of #1. Although they do 
not do justice to the contents, they have their own visual style, and as 
Gerry says, sci-fi art---oops, SF art---has a long tradition of 
awfulness. LOTR copvers have gotten better but also perhaps more pompous 
(excepting the movie version!) as their contents have become more 
profitable and more prestigious.
