Description

This art was the cover of one of the first books I can actually remember reading as a child. It had a big effect on me, and for some reason stuck in my mind despite forgetting plenty of other books from that period.

I was also reminded of this CYOA book years ago when there was a meme going around using the original art from the book. (including a picture of that)

Color me surprised when I was able to track this down and buy it directly from Mr. Mattingly.

It seemed appropriate to use matting that closely matched the area around the art from the original book. This piece is a favorite in my collection now.

This book was after my own CYOA reading days but I bought a copy of the book to complete the entire series. A nice addition to your collection!

Very fun! Done in the days when cookie cutter action films had ninjas and betrayed senseis that trained guys to fight them.

Loved the CYOA books as a kid, and great to see the OA for this. Fantastic pickup.
