Big sloppy ooohs and aahhhs all round Pybob bin keepin that one to yourself.

It's a great cover but I still prefer the Bob Eggleton's art on the front cover of my copy. Trying to sound as though I'm not too jealous

Who done the cover for the shown copy?

<font color=440066>The artist is Alan Hood, and I managed to get the book through very archaic means... I made a plea to the Dark Lord in his watery grave of R'lyeh... Then when I went to the local market it was on a stall for £1.25! lol</font>

It is a paperback not hardcover. If you go to the main website and go to the multimedia section there is an interview where Brian talks about this book. It was the first run printing of the necroscope book. Later it got reprinted with a new cover. Brian had it on him when he meet the main man for Tor. He gave the man the book to read, and the rest is history. Tor bought the first three Necro books and then ...well you know the rest. But its better hearing it told by Brian so go to the multimedia section, then under real media and listen to the interview.

I think it is the interview done by Paul Ganley at Eeriecon.
