White Dwarf #4 Cover

The first few issues of White Dwarf stand out from the rest because of their monochromatic cover art. This issue feature cover art by John Blanche whose slightly surrealistic macabre and pointy style screams warhammer to me whenever I see it. I have to say I like this cover much more than issue #1. The light blue goes well with the black inks and adds a sense of falling night to the slightly disturbing image. It beckoned many of the good and great things to come from the magazine before it was swallowed and shrunken and thickened as its later purely Games Workshop incarnation.
