Challenge: Cover Art

Prompt: Favorite Book Covers and Why

I'm going to have to go with David Mattingly, and particularly the art he did for a bunch of Barbara Hambly's books, notably including the Darwatch series. Why? Well, that's easy: they were on the front of some of my favorite books. Are they a bit dated these days? Well, yes, but they're still fun to look at.

    1. And the ones I recognize go very nicely with the books they were commissioned for, too!
