annaloog 19th Aug 2022		Fourteen? ... I think I have eleven of them, purchased at the time. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 19th Aug 2022		i think the cover art on this mmpb is by wayne barlowe: of the fourteen individual novels published by avon books in this reissue programme - i.e. excluding the larger format ''cities in flight'' omnibus edition p/b - two bear cover art by rowena morrill, who did not paint in this style, and eleven are definitely by wayne barlowe, bearing one form or another of his signature (some are also credited to him); and it is definitely in one of the styles he commonly employed. but this is *not* a firm attribution: i neither possess° nor have seen documentary proof of this. ° - sfaiaa; i cannot currently reach most of my books to check whether or no it is reproduced in, or listed in, and authoritatively attributed to him in any of these, including one dedicated to his work (this comment is from another edition of this book)



annaloog 19th Aug 2022		I suspect this is a Barlowe cover; he created the artwork for a number of James Blish titles in this early 1980s series from Avon. The cover graphic here perhaps is a detail of a larger work. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 18th Aug 2022		cover art seen attributed to wayne barlowe; stylistically convincing, but no firm reason provided. (this comment is from another edition of this book)
