What I Want Part II




UPDATE!  I originally created this blog post in 2009 - now, almost 10 years later (2018), I have finally found one of these paintings!!  Please help me find more! :)

In one of my first blog entries, I submitted a small want list. I'm also looking for any of the four paintings by artist Darrell K. Sweet shown here. They were done for Stephen R. Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant trilogy way back in the late 1970's. From left to right, they are, Lord Foul's Bane, The Illearth War, and The Power That Preserves, and The Wounded Land. I will pay a finder's fee for successful acquisition! (click for larger image)

UPDATE: SOLD IN 2010!!

This was one of the few stories that stood out to me from way back then - likely due to the fact that it was scripted by the great Denny O'Neill. It features two of my favorite DC artists of that time - Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez (pencils), and Dick Giordano (inks), and the cover is a classic done by Neal Adams, which depicts the action in panel one (click for larger image)
