Classic Covers: Ken Kelly
The world of fantasy illustrators has lost one of its most prolific and long-running practitioners, Ken Kelly (May 19, 1946 – June 3, 2022). From the classic Berkley Medallion line of collected Robert E. Howard to the modern Baen reissues, Tor Conan pastiches, and Wildside/Dorchester Weird Works of REH — and the thousands of fantasy and science fiction books from every major publisher in between — Kelly’s art was a...
Goodbye, Ken Kelly
It is with sadness that we note the passing of fantasy artist Ken Kelly (May 19, 1946 – June 3, 2022). Any fan of fantasy fiction for the last half-century will recognize Ken’s dynamic compositions and his characters throbbing with barely contained energy — work that threatens to burst off the covers of dozens upon dozens of paperback books, many of which are no doubt on your very bookshelf. Perhaps this is no surprise...

These fantasy-horror comic magazines were ahead of their time, and shared a cultural overlap with some of the same influences...
Original Ken Kelly Art For Sale!
Yes, you read that correctly. As you know, Goodman Games prides itself on working with classic artists. All of the art we publish for our Dungeon Crawl Classics line is art that leaves behind a physical memento. That means there is an actual “canvas with paint on it” when the art is done—not just a digital phantom. In some ways this limits who we can work with, since so many modern artists are only trained to paint digitally....
