The Avon Fantasy Reader


Gray had the honor of doing the covers for both of the the first two issues in this late sixties anthology.

  1. Those are nice, particularly the second one, which has a somewhat more appealing color scheme than the first. But notice how different the feel of each picture is, in spite of the great similarity in their respective compositions.

    There was some superb cover art on paperbacks in the late sixties and early seventies, and I sure miss those times--when paintings really WERE paintings, not just Photoshopped photographs, like a lot of the stuff now. Same thing with the old movie posters that actually featured REAL art, as opposed to the dull, repetitious, photographed head-shots we get now.
