Description

Really excited to have a piece by Raymond Bayless in the collection again after selling my huge Cthulhu painting last year. This is his original art created for the dust jacket for “The Darkling” by David Kesterton, published by Arkham House in 1982. As a hidden bonus, there is another painting on the reverse side that is dated 1977! Thanks to Chris P. for letting this go. Originally in the collection of Dr. Stuart David Schiff.

Oil on board

Sensational cover of fantasy to launch Maradek's journey and quest within.  I guess you can change which side is put on display depending on the company you keep.

Haha. I guess that's an option! (Though the company I keep already knows what to expect when they visit my home!)
