New Introduction by Glenn Lord
|
Came out in two different dust jackets:
The original in 1977 by Keiko Nelson (a colorful stylized dragon) and a
new one in 1980 designed by Mara Murray (black and white with red lettering,
skulls piled on skulls).
The skulls dustjacket is a photo from the National Archive of ritually
preserved skulls of an ancient sect of monks from the remains of a monestary
near Mt. Sinai.
|
