He has the <I>Chronicles of the Black Company</I> art, but it's just a hair not as good as Croaker's crazy outfit and battle scene. I prefer the content of <I>Chronicles</I> over <I>South</I>, but feel the reverse about the cover art.Todd Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10141151129135759156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411517893000706576.post-4739874004128244792009-01-22T13:20:00.000+00:002009-01-22T13:20:00.000+00:00Todd, they are indeed Raymond Swanland's work, and...Todd, they are indeed Raymond Swanland's work, and his website has some tasty morsels as well.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the info Rob.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763695390241432518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411517893000706576.post-12383605126307146222009-01-21T20:45:00.000+00:002009-01-21T20:45:00.000+00:00I read A Cruel Wind a while back and posted my tho...I read <A HREF="http://blogorob.blogspot.com/2008/06/spotlight-catching-up-with-classics.html" REL="nofollow"><B>A Cruel Wind</B></A> a while back and posted my thoughts on my <A HREF="http://blogorob.blogspot.com/2008/06/spotlight-catching-up-with-classics.html" REL="nofollow">blog</A>. <BR/><BR/>No, they are not set in the same world as <B>The Black Company</B> and they are very good, at least based on the first omnibus from Nightshade Books.
