I’m done for the night. A total of 445 covers have been scanned with the completion of the mass-market paperbacks. All thats left are the magazines, limited editions and oversized books. (Though remember not all of the limited edition covers will appear in the trade edition of my book…)
Here’s what I now know I also need: Paperback first printings of the following titles — Darkfall, The Face of Fear, Lightning, The Mask, Midnight, Strangers, The Vision (Ballantine), and Watchers. In all cases I either have a later printing or a copy in such bad shap as to not make it worthy. If you have any of these drop me a line.
Lastly, I’ve been in contact with the Freas family and have confirmed that my copy of Invasion is indeed autographed by artist Kelly Freas.
