Is Seawrack's hair colour wrong? Horn's hair doesn't look balding at all. Babbie and the Neighbour would require much speculation on the part of the artist and these are not particularly impressive.

<div><br></div><div>But that aside, even if they depict accurate content from the stories, they are terrible 'unicorns and rainbows' fantasy drawing styles, not particularly skillful or tasteful or interesting. They're some of the worst and most embarrassing fantasy kitsch I've ever seen. (RttW is not as painful as the others - OBW is the worst.) Is it even a good idea to try to depict some of the most pulp-fantastic elements of Wolfe's stories on his covers? That can be so susceptible to misapprehending the literary excellence and subtlety of the writing that simultaneously celebrates, subverts, and transfigures the subgenre(s) Wolfe is drawing from (alongside his 'mainstream' influences). Why not try something more subtle or quite clearly 'beautiful'? If it has to be straightforward representational figurative paintings of events in the stories, then AT LEAST GET AN ARTIST WHO HAS A CLUE ABOUT GOOD REALISTIC
PAINTING.</div>
