The Ace Paperback Barclay Shaw Covers
In the early 80's, Ace reprinted much of Ellison's backlist. One of
Harlan's favorite artists, Barclay Shaw, did the covers for all of the
paperbacks. These were the first HE books I ever bought, and the most
expensive one (The Other Glass Teat) was only $3.50. They
aren't the best scans you'll see, sometimes faded and creased, but the
artwork is wonderful and I wouldn't trade a single one of these much-loved
books in on a new copy.

The Dream Corridor Comic Books
This excellent series features Ellison stories adapted for the medium
by various lauded talents in the field. The lynchpin of the series is
a new work of art featured on each cover - an artwork for which Ellison
invents and writes an original story featured within the issue.
I have all but the original special produced before the first issue.
The book has been converted to a book format, and after a long hiatus
will reappear soon as a quarterly publication.
Issue 1, art by Michael Whelan. Inspiration for the story "Midnight
in the Sunken Cathedral".

Issue 2, art by Leo and Diane Dillon (who, among other Ellison-related
work, did the front and back covers to The Essential Ellison).
HE wrote "Anywhere but Here, With Anybody but You" based on
this cover.

Issue 3, art by Sam Raffa. Inspiration for HE's "Pulling Hard
Time".

Issue 4, art by Jane MacKenzie. Ellison took one look at this cover
and wrote "Chatting with Anubis", recently nominated for the
Bram Stoker award for Superior Achievement in Short Fiction. Not too
dusty!

Issue 5, art by Ron Brown, IMHO the best of the covers. Harlan wrote
the engaging story "The Museum on Cyclops Avenue" based on
this piece.
