Michael Whelan was the catalyst to my love of Syfi and fantasy at the age of 12. The first was his cover art for E.R. Burroughs - Mars series. Thanks for this tribute!

In 87-88 I was reading any of the Robert e Howard stuff I could find. Driven on by the fantastic covers by frank Frazetta. When I discovered a new ' western ' had come out by Steven King. They say ' You can't judge a book by its cover ' but the ' gunslinger 'is the exception. No other artist could have worked better on king's masterpiece. One of the best artists of all time ❤
