Which Trek Publication Had The Best Cover Art?

Re: Favorite Cover Art

One of the mods might merge this thread with the other one, but my favorite covers remain those from some of the James Blish TOS adaptations from the 1970s.

Allow me to bore you with my ramblings on the subject.

Re: Favorite Cover Art

not necessarily my favorite trek novel but my favorite cover art is Do Comets Dream?

what's yours?
and if possible post a link to the memory alpha/beta page or at least a cover image

I already posted my picks on the lengthy previous thread on the same subject.

Terok Nor trilogy
Crucible trilogy
Infinity's Prism
Fearful Symmetry
- all by John Picacio
The Never-Ending Sacrifice
- by Nicolas Bouvier
Avatar Book 1/2/Twist of Faith
These Haunted Seas
Over a Torrent Sea
- all by Cliff Nielsen

also, I quite like Nielsen's cover for Gods of Night (a bit more than the covers for the other two Destiny novels)
as well as the cover of Star Trek: Constellations (not sure by whom).

The artist for the Constellations cover was Jerry Vanderstelt.

Re: Favorite Cover Art

Hmm, off the top of my head (I haven't checked my bookcase yet)
The Titan series, Vanguard series, The Buried Age, Terok Nor trilogy, Avatar duology, A Burning House, Warpath, Fearful Symmetry (both), Mission Gamma series, Articles of the Federation, Destiny trilogy. Ok, I don't think I even need to bother checking my bookcase now.

Greater than the Sum was pretty cool too.

These were my picks from the other thread.

Re: Favorite Cover Art

hmm... I think it's time we merge the two threads on cover art...

I know! And when you think about the plot of the book--even funnier!

I love the Blish covers and the early Bantams. FASA's Trek books always had fantastic covers, as did the Best of Trek's (I love the faux-Enterprise on the cover of #5). I don't even have any Best of Treks, and only a couple of tattered old second-hand FASA books - but there are cover scans online, and I've got them all saved on my computer. They're that good.

The Blish covers were awesome. I wish some good quality prints of those existed.

I think that's by Dave Deitrick; I met him once or twice back when he was doing FASA work; I wonder what ever happened to him?
