Unpublished Cover |

Several versions of this cover exist, but this is the only one that has never been in print. The US version of this cover did not have the Hierarchy character portraits at the sides of the art. The Spanish version has a star field in the background and no character portraits.

This is watercolor, but I attempted to do tweaks to various versions of it in Photoshop. Hilariously wonky efforts, I did not even know how to use the pen tool back then.

Aloha, much mahalo again, followed your career from a ways back–the early Distant Soil, your DC work, and geez. I do believe I’m ‘fan-boying’ lol. Anyways it’s an honor and again, much mahalo.
