Artist Unknown
This is from 1963. There’s a new man in the house and he’s serving drinks. It’s good to stay useful. The artist is unknown. I know it looks like there might be signature on the cover but I think that’s actually something that a previous owner wrote on it. Why anyone would ruin a cover by doing that, I don’t know. It actually makes me a little mad.

They’re not lost, they’re just floating in front of that skyscraper. It’s a strange cover but I like it. The artist behind this striking imagery was Griffith Foxley.

The Sword Woman on this cover, with the red hair and the general fashion sense, reminds me of someone and that’s all I’ll say about that.
The Sword Woman is Dark Agnes de Chastillon, who lived in 16th century France. The author Robert E. Howard, who also created Conan, wrote three stories featuring Agnes but he never attempted to publish them. It wasn’t until several years after his death that the stories were discovered. In 1977, they were published as Sword Woman. The cover above is from a 1979 edition and was done by Ken Kelly.
