What's Wrong with This Picture?

With new editions of all these books now available, it seems like a good time to do a comparison of cover art...especially since I got to design the cover art for the new editions.

 


Sabazel (First Edition)

The original cover of Sabazel was done by Dawn Wilson. It matches the descriptions of Danica and Bellasteros in the book--except Danica wore clothes beneath her armor! She also knew better than to go into battle with her hair flowing down her back, which would make a nice handhold for an enemy. But that's cover art for you. What I dislike about this cover is the stiff and icy stances of the figures.

Sabazel (Back-in-Print Edition)

The new cover is a portion of the famous Alexander-at-the-battle-of-Issus mosaic found at Pompeii. This bit shows Alexander charging, and looks more like Elvis than I'd like, but hey, it's a genuine ancient picture of the person who inspired the book.
