This is some of the coolest looking Artwork I've ever seen.
Is it possible to ever have these made available as Art Prints, without the text? Maybe 8 1/2"x 11".

When I first saw these back in the 70's the Artwork absolutely blew me away.

Please consider.

I doubt Steve has the rights. For that matter assuming the artist (Roger Stine) had a competent agent, Metagaming probably didn't have the rights to do that.

Personally, the look I really dig are the 1st printing Melee and Wizard covers and the second printing melee cover

Interesting point. I wonder if we have a chance of hunting down the estate of Roger Stine?

The first MELEE cover was by Liz Danforth. I still think it's awesome. I have told this story before, but the reason the Gargoyle is in the game is that Liz drew that cover and it was so good that I edited the game to match!

The first WIZARD cover was by Clark Bradley.

Those were superb covers, and the ones I most fondly remember.

Personally, I preferred their work to that of Mark Stine. At the time, it looked almost like they were trying to use computer software to draw art -- which at THAT time was not very appealing at all, graphically speaking; I much preferred the more organic style that Liz and Clark brought to the games.

This is not intended as a knock against Stine; I know a lot of people really admired his art. It's just that I personally thought it wasn't as good as Liz' and Clark's stuff...

A potential greenlight for Art Prints and...mayhaps...some new Artwork from Roger Stine, just in time for the re-release of the FANTASY TRIP??? :)

I like all the Artwork it's just the ones I mentioned look like they should be Art Prints. In fact to put too fine a point on this, I have wished to have ArtPrints of these two since the first time I saw them back in the 70's. The others are nice too, but there is only so much wall space. ;)

Did anyone ever think the namesake wizard in the Stine covers (including ITL) was modeled after Mr. Jackson?

No? Just me, then?

Roger Stine is dead (thus the "contact his estate" remark from Steve)...
