White Dwarf Weekly #101 Cover


I havent seen many issues of the weekly but it seemed nothing more than a color catalog rather than the wonderful old White Dwarf.

White Dwarf #338 Cover


A bit more realism in their fantasy art for this cover. I'm a fan of both thre first 100 issues and the early days when WD became just a mouth of Sauron for GW. That early artwork brought me into GW products in a way that the later covers and artwork turns me off. This is a nice bit of  artwork but still doesn't hold a candle to the early covers.

Warhammer Armies Orcs & Goblins


1993 but not sure what edition this is for.The artwork isn't as detailed as some of the work in White Dwarf and a little more cartoonish.

White Dwarf #202 - Cover


Fntastic cover. The artwork is crowded but epic. There is so much detail and yet it is loud and in your face. The perspective is right on top of you. GW had some amazing artist.

Dragon #319 Cover Art

Cover Art By Eric Polack

Definitely a bit Thrud the Barbarian though his head should be a wee bit smaller. I like the bone-bladed 4 headed whacking stick with which he is getting ready to hit the guy with the long fingernails. That is going to hurt if he connects. Not sure why you'd want 4 blades on it, maybe they break and then you have a choice of 3 blades. I'd rather have that nifty pick-axe they were using on a recent episode of Fear the Walking Dead. These fantasy weapons get pretty stupid looking and while this one is all pointy and sharp it seems like it would be a pain in the ass to carry around with you where with just a blade front and back you would always have a flat side and less air resistance or chance get it deflected by striking against the non-dangerous sides of the protruding blades. This one would also take up a bit of shelf-space. definitely an unwise item for a space conscious merchant.

The Strategic Review #5 Cover Art

Cover Art By Greg Bell

This is the first cover art for The Strategic Review but they could have done without it. They had Dave Sutherland on board at this point so why they chose this over something Sutherland could have done in dark I don't know. TSR chose some amazingly bad work for their covers. They had some excellent artists early on and then later had more than enough money to hire anyone they wanted, but good choices never seemed to be part of the TSR business model.
