I'm new to this forum, and enjoying it immensely! One thing I don't seem to find, however: contributions from collectors of the original COVER ART for these books! So I thought I'd dive in - and see if any of you are out there....since each year I run a special sale of these kinds of paintings on eBay....during the month of October, to celebrate my favorite Holiday  I'm a dealer in sf/f/h original illustration art, and as "Worlds of Wonder" have been representing some of the most well-known artists in this genre for 20+ years. If you collect this kind of art, you may have heard of me (Jane Frank). This year, I am giving over the entire sale to paintings by TERRY OAKES. Not a name you may be familiar with, but you're sure to recognize his covers! They appear all over this site: on books by Guy N. Smith, McCammon, Halkin, Tremayne, Peter Straub, others. Because Terry produced dozens of cover paintings for British publishers in the 80s - I am thinking members (you) might be interested in checking them out! He worked for Sphere, Arrow, Corgi, NEL, Grafton, and more..... Here's the link to the first week's offering: www.ebay.com/sch/wowart/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=15&_rdc=1These are the kind of vintage illustrations that rarely come up for sale; it's only because Terry is finally emptying his attic after 30 years that they are coming to light - and he's chosen me to be his exclusive agent. So take your pick while you can! If you love the book covers, you will love the original art even more! NOTE: My sale will run Sunday to Sunday on eBay, for three consecutive weeks, through the end of October. BUT EACH PIECE WILL BE LISTED ONLY ONCE. There are 35 Terry Oakes HORROR covers listed on my website - www.wow-art.com and Each painting will have its turn on eBay...Starting with the ten this week, then 12 next week, then 13 the final week....you will see them all listed, at least once. BUT ONLY ONCE. Then they return to the regular listed prices shown on my website. So if you see one you like, jump in. Because you won't be seeing it again at that price - no re-listing! At the end of the sale, what's left will be up on the site again, just as it was priced before the sale. The first week's sale will end Oct 9th, so be sure to check it out and make "Wowart" a favorite seller....so you can keep up with my Halloween sales! And.... Happy bidding! PS: If you have a favorite cover by Oakes that isn't listed on my site, it's possible that he still has it....get in touch with me and I can inquire. And FYI, I also represent Steve Crisp (more horror from the 80s!) _________________ |

Hi and welcome,
One of our members at least has an extraordinary collection of original artwork. That's off the top of my head.
