DRAGONQUEST (1978)
Acrylic on Masonite - 20" X 30"



The primary menace to the planet Pern is "Thread," a corrosive and devastating alien life form which falls from the Red Star and burrows its way into the soil, destroying all life and making the soil unusable. Only the dragons who are able to burn the Thread out of the sky can save the inhabitants. 1/3

Je dépoussière ma Bibliothèque avec ce livre qui s’y trouve depuis quelques années deja.
Aimant les dragons j’ai beaucoup aimés l’histoire et les illustrations au fil des pages.

This was the first cover in the Dragonriders of Pern series to feature the beloved fire lizards and I really enjoyed painting them. 1/5
