One of my favorite Ken Kelly paintings.  I read the crappy book just because of the cover. 


You won't be alone in that. Worthwhile getting the right art for your cover - especially if the book is terrible

This isn't for the 1957 release, but the 1977 re-release poster - which doesn't make it any less spectacular. Definitely an incredible image.


Hey - I just looked into it and I think you're correct.

A small prelim to this was on Heritage and it said 1957 so I thought it was done then. I will look more into it and amend accordingly.

Cheers!

Well, its no Frazetta but you would have to rob an oligarch or two to afford one of them now. Lol. Protecting luscious ladies keeps his sword erect at all times. By Crom, its better than viagra or is it? His loin area is rather droopy.

#1- Incredibly memorable and cool piece! 

#2- great frame job

#3- I think your collection just leveled up...again 


Well summed up! This is a new level of piece that potentially a couple of my others are in as well. 

None are framed this well though... I can't take the credit but feel that now I have one like this, others will need to follow the trend 😆

I believe that are just not so many pieces in circulation compared with the breadth and volume of his work.

Wow! I've never seen this cover before (since I stopped buying SSoC around #150) Very nice; and I wish a publisher would put out a book of Norem's SSoC covers ... plenty of paintings to enjoy.


I think a lot of people agree that there should be an Earl Norem book... and this should be the cover 😆

Is there a better female warrior cover? If so, tell me about it please haha.

The piece has been kept in excellent condition, practically untouched since it was painted.

That is a really nice piece. While perhaps not immediately recogizable as Miho, Royo is nonetheless a master painter. Great additon to your collection of piantings.


Thanks - you're right it isn't actually her 😆 I just see a resemblance and loved the piece. Together and with an appreciation for his work and the Dead Moon book I was very happy to come away with this.
