Darrell K. Sweet, cover artist for all the Wheel of Time books up to and including Towers of Midnight, passed away today.

We loved to hate (or laugh at) some of the aspects of his WoT covers, but there's still the beauty of the back halves of Lord of Chaos and Path of Daggers covers. And I remember seeing one copy of The Silmarillion with his art ( Read more... )

Be warned that there are, of course, spoilers there.
