Science Fiction - Fantasy artists  

Yes, Frank does do some fantastic (pun intended) work.

What did you think of the work of the Hildebrandt brothers? They did the original jacket art for "The Sword of Shannara."However, what they are best known for is their work for "Star Wars: A New Hope."

Thanks for the best response!

I haven't read Sword of Shannara, but I seem to remember the cover being a castle, far in the distance, at the top of a mountain range, though that may be a differnt cover from the one you've seen. At any rate, it's beautiful. They are masters of their craft, Greg and Tim.

That's a different book in the series. The Shannara series is huge.
No, the first book has an elf, a human in Robin Hood like clothing, and a few others, standing at the top of some stairs inside a castle. It has the Hildebrandt's classic brightness. The first printing also had a fold-out in the middle of the whole group (the fellowship, if you will) of those that went in search of the Sword of Shannara.

Now I know what you're talking about. Yes, that is a beautiful cover! I managed to track down a link to it: http://www.booksamillion....

Yup, that's it.
I don't know if you read this genre of literature. Terry Brooks became famous from this book. As I said, the complete series is huge, and it is growing. His latest book ties together another series and the Shanara series. I haven't read it yet, but my husband couldn't put it down until he had finished it.
