Issue 49’s subscriber issue is sporting the art of fantasy man Michael Whelan (interviewed as this month’s legend within).



As the cover art suggests, this is an action-packed issue, replete with tips and techniques on how to instil your art with action and drama… keep an eye out for the new issue info update, but for now enjoy this beauteous Whelan fantasy scene.

UK subscribers should be receiving their copy imminently - subscribers outside the UK can expect their copies next week.

well i'm home and there's no issue 49 anywhere in my house, i've checked high & low, but nope, no issue 49. It hurts you know.

Well it's due in the shops in the UK on 22 September, so you may still have a few days to wait. But we just thought we'd show you the lovely subscriber art a little bit early to whet your whistle!

As for the newstand cover - I happen to think it's one of our best yet. But you'll have to wait a few more days to see that particular joy!

That's so cool. I remember that painting from the cover of an Ace Books edition of H. Beam Pipers Four-Day Planet and Lone Star Planet. That man could write some fun books. The Cover was what got me to read the book. Whelan also went on to do the covers for the Little Fuzzy series by the same author. Can't wait for my issue to arrive now and to see if I still own the book.

No, you get something far rarer and hyper-exclusive. And best of all, with no horrible words to muck up the art!
