As always, these creatures are found in the wild. No auctions, no Amazon. Only dingy shelves that smell of dust and dragons.

Darrell Sweet turns the Arthurian legend into a full paperback altar piece. Excalibur burns at the center like a holy relic under interrogation, while crown, castle, dragon, sorcerer, and doomed maiden gather around it like suspects in the same ancient curse. The composition is gloriously crowded but perfectly readable. Every corner offering another promise of magic, betrayal, or royal disaster. It’s exactly what a 1977 fantasy cover should be: earnest, theatrical, jewel-bright, and absolutely convinced that one enchanted sword can ruin everybody’s evening.
Casts Sovereign Claim. Range: one kingdom. Side effects include crowns, curses, and catastrophic family drama.
