This cover was tied to Heavy On The Magick, the latest from Gargoyle Games. In the past Oliver has been happy to work with their games as cover themes, but he had little chance to see this one. However, the other options for the month's cover had already been used for ZZAP! and AMTIX! (notably Redhawk, on AMTIX!). The editorial decision was postponed till the last moment, as was increasingly the practice, leaving only hours for the illustration to be done. Again, composition turned what could have been a weak cover into a powerful image. |
