THE MAN WHO COUNTS (1977)
Acrylic on Masonite - 30" x 20"
At first glance, tackling the cover art for the reissue of an an old-fashioned SF novel would seem like a boring job for a new illustrator hot to conquer the field, but I looked at reissues as a challenge. I had to outdo whatever was on the original cover so that a new generation of readers would buy it. 1/3
