<DIV>One of my favorite covers for a pretty mediocre fantasy was the cover of Constantine's Wraiths of Will and Pleasure; I wish some of Wolfe's stuff had that kind of artistic treatment. Not that it's related to Wolfe, but it's Tor SF:</DIV>

<DIV>His worst cover is no doubt the limited edition Free Live Free one. UGH.</DIV>

<DIV>I used to have the set with those covers. Wolfe’s cover artists rarely serve him so well.</DIV>
