Haroun Al Raschid, Caliph of Baghdad, by P. Craig Russell (commission)

P. Craig Russell's work eluded me for a long time, until I stumbled over Elric: Stormbringer. As amazed as I was, most of us (including myself) might vividly recall when Sandman #50, "Ramadan" hit the stores. (Add a pile of months for me to get my hands on it, being on the wrong side of the Atlantic.)

For Craig's "Anniversary: 50 Years in Full Color" indiegogo campaign, I took the chance and asked for a commission featuring Haroun Al Raschid. I mean, if you think about it, that's a brave decision to hand his city for it to survive and not crumble like other cities did.

So, there you go.
