This past weekend, I finally located (and purchased) a copy of Gordon R. Dickson’s Wolfling, with cover by Jeffrey Jones, so now, at last, I can post this comparison of two very similar images by Jones executed in two different mediums, oil vs. ink:
-
- ABOVE: Gorden R. Dickson, Wolfling (New York: Dell, 1969), with cover art by Jeffrey Jones.
-
- ABOVE: Jeffrey Jones, frontispiece, Savage Sword of Conan, vol. 1, no. 5 (April 1975).
The “Conan” frontispiece was published in Savage Sword of Conan in 1975, but the style and the signature suggest to me that it was created around the time of the 1969 Wolfling cover. Anyone know if the “Conan” frontispiece was published anywhere else prior to its appearance in Savage Sword?
RCN at Random:
Look Here: Two self-portraits by Vincent van Gogh
Look Here: Black Canary, original art vs. printed page, by Alex Toth
Look Here, Read: "Is a Snerl Human?" with art by Alex Toth
Interlude: Homer and Jethro - "It's All Right with Me"
Heads Up: Buy some art, comics, and/or prints and help Dustin Harbin pay some bills
