Pern was much more my sister's thing. I read them because they were more Whelan covers, but just the once and I really couldn't tell you anything about them 🤷🏼 Still though, another 5+ reads written by a woman #AnneMcCaffrey #MichaelWhelan #booksky

A girl I knew in HS was reading a paperback of Dragon Prince, and between her description and the Whelan cover I was curious & got hooked. Wound up picking up the Dragon Token & Skybowl hardcovers as they came out. #MelanieRawn #MichaelWhelan #booksky (5 books you've read by a woman author)

80s paperback book cover Nifft the Lean by Michael Shea. Two giant mummies guard a ruined gate while a man screams nooooooooooooooo

80s paperback book cover Nifft the Lean by Michael Shea. Two giant mummies guard a ruined gate while a man screams nooooooooooooooo

Another classic favorite, "Nifft the Lean" is gritty and grotesque horror-fantasy, with a perfect anti-hero in Nifft, master thief. I owned a copy with this incredible cover by the incomparable @michaelwhelan.bsky.social, but regrettably sold it years ago. #sword&sorcery #fantasy #michaelwhelan

I have an ancient 70s #Stormbringer #paperback with this #MichaelWhelan cover. #Elric #Moorcock #fantasy #swordandsorcery And all the other books in the series from that time. My Whelan #hardback art book from about 35 years ago has this painting in it too. Great stuff. 🗡💀🔥

Found these old Plume, trade paper back nicely illustrated editions. We sold so many of this book when I worked at dark Carnival in Berkeley. I never read it. Maybe it’s time. #thedarktower #stephenking #michaelwhelan

Among an alien landscape of windswept trees, the very-robotic Giskard stands poised in a very expressive and un-robotic posture, suggesting something is different about this robot.

Spent a week or two distractedly working thru Caves of Steel, finished it yesterday & then read The Naked Sun ( #IsaacAsimov can be such a fast read). Started today on Robots of Dawn. #booksky #MichaelWhelan #artsky

Yesterday i found this full cover of To Green Angel Tower, the longest fantasy book ever published. This cover is amazingly detailed. The Sithi's armors are unique and beautiful... Read Memory, Sorrow and Thorn!
