J. ALLEN ST. JOHN ART GALLERY
He lunged at me viciously.I took Ozara in my arms and jumped.This, he said, is the brain.
A sword flashed inward.It succeeded in eluding him.
FRANK FRAZETTA GALLERY: Doubleday Edition Art
Frazetta cover art for the Doubleday edition: Swords and Synthetic. . . cleaving his skull as I raced past him!
I ran my sword through his heart from behind . . .Her veiled eyes seemed to read my very soul.
