I never did like the cover art on the "Thieves' World" books. "Another Fine Myth" and "Myth-conceptions" in the Starblaze editions were first illustrated by Frank Kelly Freas. I dislike Phil's work, but compared to this other guy (the "Thieves' World" artist), he's tolerable. Kelly's portrayal of the characters is a lot like I visualize them. Skeeve looks like Skeeve, and Aahz looks like Aahz instead of an all-teeth dumb-grin green slimy monster. By the way, there's a 5th one out now: "Mything Persons". The door gets opened (see "Hit or Myth"), and we get to find out what's behind it. . . . excellent book, and leaves me dying in anticipation for a sequel. After someone else reads this, please mail me a message speculating on the absence of Calvin. I haven't figured that (among other things) out yet. Red
