“The New Hero” Cover Revealed
Artist Gene Ha has taken the hero theme to heart and given the world a twist on ancient Greek pottery (Attic Red-Figure Ware, to be precise) for the cover of Stone Skin Press’ anthology The New Hero. As I said in an earlier post, I’m very happy to have had a story accepted for the collection.
I learned as an archaeology student that this style of pottery often bore mythic and heroic images, and Gene has included an element for every piece in the book. It’s a very impressive piece of work.
And if you’re interested, my story Against the Air Pirates is reflected in the second row, right hand side.

Sweet!
Nifty.
(Though I’d have had a flat background behind the text, not the slightly textured one. I know lots of people who don’t see well.)
