My involvement with those books began in 1976 when Ace, guided by Jerry Pournelle, repackaged the two original novels: LITTLE FUZZY and FUZZY SAPIENS.
Devoted fans will recognize that I illustrated many more Fuzzy covers. 2/4
FUZZY BONES, written by William Tuning, was intended as the third book in the series, but a lost manuscript by Piper was later discovered and published as FUZZIES AND OTHER PEOPLE. 3/4
(Ace), based on the work of H. Beam Piper. 4/4

The covers for "Fuzzies & Other People" and for "Golden Dream: A Fuzzy Odyssey" were what got me into the Fuzzy books ❤

Anton Sherwood@MichaelWhelan i think «Little Fuzzy» was my first awareness of you!
Jeff Zugale - Z Factory@MichaelWhelan hahaaa, I gotta tell ya, I did a comp cover for John Scalzi’s Fuzzy Nation re-imagining before it was picked up for publication, and boy didn’t I catch hell for not being Michael Whelan! 😆😆😃 The final cover was done by the brilliant Kekai Kotaki.
@jeffzugale Lol, sorry about that! 😅
@MichaelWhelan no worries, it’s just thing that happened. I can’t help not being you! 😆😆😆😆👍
