Rare illustrations

[Ari_Racing]

The regular HC edition has them?
I don't exactly remember the 3rd one, but the 4th appeared in The Art of Michael Whelan.

It's very possible that the third also appeared in that book.

[herbertwest]

thanks for your answers... so as they were published in 'anthologies' there is no point creating a thread for them, or will have to create threads for every single publication of stories which were illustrated...
thanks again for your knowledge guys :-)

Any guess of the range of the upcomming book from Centripede Press?

I'd like to get one, but i am afraid that it would be a lot more than what i am willing to pay (even though would worths it)
ie : the cheapest edition of the lovecraft book was around $300

[Ari_Racing]

I seriously doubt it'll be below $300.

Guess "After the Play" was originally longer than mere 4 pages. I guess they meant the actual epilogue in the novel (Epilogue/Summer) which was actually taken from the lost epilogue "After the Play."

[Ari_Racing]

??? I don't understand

[DanishCollector]

What I meant is that the above info was based on the existing epilogue that's in the novel. The original After the Play must certainly have been longer.

Well, here's another rare illustration. At first sight it looks like Creepshow, BUT this one was made by Berni Wrightson and the one below is Stephen King.

It's an illustration done for an interview with Steven King in the Literary Guild Magazine, promoting the Creepshow movie. 1984, ink and watercolor on bristol board. 16 1/4 X 3 1/4"

[Randall Flagg]

That is great.

[Danish]

Don't we need a big update on the illustrations?

Loving it, thanks Ari!

Thanks I also believe the short fiction/nonfiction illustrations needs to be updated

[Randall Flagg]

Thanks I also believe the short fiction/nonfiction illustrations needs to be updated

Easily said, but time consuming to do.

[Danish]

yes...but I do have list somewhere that likely contains the most illustrators for short fiction and nonfiction, but there's a few I don't know about it

Then instead of wanting someone else to finish your list, contribute to the community and update our wiki.
Perhaps it's a language issue, but you come across as wanting someone else (TheDarkTower.org) to complete your needs, yet have little or nothing to contribute to the community.
Again, if I have incorrectly interpreted it may be a language issue on my part; or it could be you.

That's a bunch of BS, but not the first time I've gotten such BS from you! You have quite a reputation here that isn't exactly rosy - just because you have more than one bad day, or because you're the "owner," do not give you the rights to take it out on others. I've helped quite a few here, and the other way around. If you cared to look around, you would notice I've helped a lot! You don't know the slightest about me, so use your head before spewing such criticism on me! This makes me want to abandon this place since I can get these kind of "attacks" easily from the moody owner. Well, so be it - I'm apparently not missing much! Bye!

I've helped quite a few here, and the other way around. I've just steered my way around you on purpose! You don't know the slightest about me, so use your head before spewing such criticism on me! I would prefer you keep a leash on yourself or I'm out of here for good!

I accept your threat/promise to leave.
Goodbye.

[Danish]

Very kind of you. And you beter be a better admin toward others

[Shannon]

lol

[Lookwhoitis]

Goodbye.

I am sorry for fanning the flames, but that cracked me the hell up

[Los']

Shannon and Lookwhoitis: You think your administrator is such a funny guy? Well, that tells a lot about you guys. As I posted on Facebook (an honest comment that the chickenshit-admin deleted since he was afraid people might steer away from this site), this used to be such a great site but now when it's run by an incompetent jerk it has become a place where some get a kick out of laughing at someone they don't even know - obvously they only know half the story, or more correctly, the beloved admin's story. The thing is, I have been here for many years and have helped a lot and have received lots of help. If the admin was competent, he would have checked to make certain that, yes I have helped here and there. He apparently got the idea that I was here to milk King-material from members. If he had been a competent admin, he would know that it's not uncommon to ask for help/scans/whatever on this site. This will likely surprise him, but I often help people like Justin now and then (not so much here, though, but outside of this site). So I'm not the beggar he thinks I am. I don't know what his problem is; maybe he don't like people from Denmark. Truth be told, he's just an asshole. I know of other members who has complained about him, so - well, as the saying goes, there's a sucker born every minute! You might think it's immature of me to reappear here with this comment? I don't care - I'm just shocked at the treatment I have received after being a patron here for years. And I don't appreciate being treated as something I'm not...that's the reason for the beginning of the "bickering" in this thread. I'm not sure why a person like RandallFlagg can be running this site, it's beyond any common sense. As I also wrote on facebook, there are thankfully other sites to chat with fans and collectors, so it's not the end of the world for me not being a member here anymore. But, seriously - the way you guys apparently treat certain people, I cannot recommend this site for anyone. Bottom line: There's a lot of good people here, while others think the admin is a real funny sport, and...the admin is truly a jerk! Where did they find you, admin? In the sewer! Please ban me again

[Lookwhoitis]

I disagree with ya bra...

Randall Flagg is a good guy.

Sure, he can be a little cantankerous of personality from time to time, but hell who isnt? Plus he owns the playground, so you have to give him a modicum of respect.

Perhaps you will never read this but ima throw it out there anyways. I've even had RF tell ME to do a similar thing (make a list of who owns currently Michael Whelan remarques) Thing is, I didnt flake out and start spewing kaka and freaking the heck out. I took it with a grain of salt and actually DID end up trying to make a list, LOL

This community is a wealth of information, comraderie, marketplace with options to buy that are better than most other places, and hive of many different personality types. Sometimes they come into conflict but often times magic can happen and some really cool vibes are shared.

Unfortunately, I feel by your flame out, you are only depriving yourself of these benefits.

Good luck man and

Don't cross the Jefe... He dont fuck aroud

lol

[Los']

A good guy? Okay then. He obviously don't have respect for everyone, but it's okay, life goes on, just wanted to share my version of the tale. Over and out
