Re: Magazine Cover Artwork

Thanks Lith for a reason to reload those covers. They were here as links before but the links broke when the website changed.

Page 2 of this thread includes a cover with a male in a pose that would have brought complaints had the subject been female. There are lots of fantasy covers with sword-wielding male warriers but maybe more with sword-wielding females.

The Best SF reviewer said that the (IZ 199) illustration didn't need to feature the squished-together cleaveage. There are plenty of other titles on the bookstand doing that kind of thing already, thank you. I read part of this issue in public, and had to go through complex machinations to keep the cover covered up. For me, a disappointment after several excellent covers.

The IZ 205 cover was also a source of complaint.
Sorry about the mismatch in images file sizes.
