Erol Otus cover of Dragon Magazine now on my wall

I'm thrilled that I now have a framed print of the cover illustration by Erol Otus of the very first Dragon magazine that I ever owned (issue # 55) hanging on my wall:

The print is number 99 (out of 200) and signed Otus.

The original magazine cover:

The corner of my study:

  1. A classic, all right. Think if I had my choice of just one of his pieces to get a similar treatment it would be the center spread montage from Revolt on Antares. Black & white, but a real feast for the eyes with a ton of detail.

    Then again, my tastes are kind of peculiar.

    1. I never owned Revolt on Antares but I managed to find that picture online. It is indeed quite cool!

  2. That's literally in my top 5 favorite Dragon Magazine covers of all time! So awesome...

    Did you buy it with a frame or did you have it custom framed after receiving the print?

    1. Only the print was for sale, so I had to get it framed afterwards. The frame job cost me more than the print!

    2. Yes, I was anticipating that... framing is super expensive, like shipping outside the USA.
