This picture left a strong impression on me as a child. It all seemed to be there. The impressive guard figure, looming above us due to the choice of perspective. And then, in the background, a sketchy, but alluring promise of what would await us if we managed to get past that guy. It all seemed perfect. But, of course, memories may be misleading. So let us enter the #CityOfThieves together.

@mr_creosote woww YES I love these books! Recently grabbed this reprint. The art is ALWAYS such 🔥 - sword and sorcery ftw!
@jake4480 Island of the Lizard King is next on my list. It was not one of my favorites in the 80s, to be honest. But lets give it a chance. Not sure how long I can keep up going through them in order ;)
@mr_creosote hahaa that's so awesome. Great to see it here, I miss what I saw of it over on the bird site
