Brings me back to the good old days. I'm the illustrator who did the very first cover. (The one on the left) I hope they find a good home.

No, Karen didn't say it, but Wow! I'll dig that issue out of the envelope and look at it again! I do illustration work, too, did book jackets and interiors for Arkham House and Mirage Press. REALLY miss the days of the small press science fiction publisher! Now I have a portrait site and do illos for the specialized journals like Two-Gun Raconteur (the Robert E. Howard semi-annual). I did the portrait of Karen above this. Anyway, nice to hear from you!
