From Aesgaard to Zingara
This is a terrific illustration by Michael Kaluta, front and back cover to this comic, that got all gunked up by the other graphic elements. Has anyone seen this printed elsewhere, the way it should be seen? Maybe one of the MWK compendiums? Anyway, very nice work created in 1985.

Hello, this Michael kaluta illustration have been publishedby HarperCollins publishers for the 1994 JRR Tolkien calendar under the title "The first stroke of lightning at helm's deep" It's originally a mirror image of the one you show (like seen in a mirror) with deeper colors and cropped (you can't see the horse rider)I can do a scan of it if you want to... cheers from New zealand.

Hi Chris in New Zealand--
Thank you, yes, I would love to see a scan. I love to show how art is used in altered formats. Looking at this art I thought, oh-that looks like a Tolkien battle, but it also sure looks like Conan on the horse. Mr. Kaluta, are you out there? Would be great to hear from you about this cover.
Anyway, Chris, yes, thanks.
No, I'm not Kaluta :-) but I love his work. Thank you for this picture.
Li-An, I really don't expect to hear from Kaluta, but I'm always glad to hear from you.
Kaluta is very comunicative&fan friendly.look him up.
I've also got this issue - must dig it out for another read. Why does Kaluta sound like something from The Day The Earth Stood Still?
