I'll keep this thread up to date whenever Justin includes further instalments - I know that early drafts of the current issue 41 had a page on Timothy Truman, but it was removed in later drafts, so that'll be one for the future.
Note to Demonik - no thread on the current issue as yet. I'm loathe to create one as I'm in it!! Maybe the same reason why Richard and James haven't either, as it's very much a Vault regulars issue.

Richard Powers is known primarily for his comic book work? I doubt this very much, as he never did any that I know of.

Okay, so maybe Justin stretched the criteria for being included a little too far when he had Richard M. Powers in Issue 31, but the fact remain that Powers did produce covers for the first two issues of Gold Key's "Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom" in 1962. There was also a cover for an issue of "Boris Karloff Thriller" the following year, and for an issue of "UFO and Outer Space" in 1978.

Richard Powers did this:
As for his artistic talent, they just don't come like this anymore. Say no more. I rest my case.

1. I own that edition, the second Vance novel I ever read. 2. Powers is probably my favorite cover artist.

I don't own a lot of books with Richard Power covers, but here are a few others of my favorites:
In this last one, the image is so precious, that just a few shredded fractions of it was sufficient. The space ship looks like an orange & strawberry popsicle. They just don't do it like this anymore! The past was better than the present. Say no more. I rest my case.

Probably one of the most essential and important observations I have ever made. A kind of delicious aesthetic shift, or blend, in-between different realities and times, that alone makes life worth living.
Sorry if this doesn't make sense to you, ... but I still had to get it out.
