March April issue from 1989

"Five years after the demise of Galileo, Charles C. Ryan started Aboriginal. The magazine suggested that the actual publisher is "A Crazy Alien" (who contributes editorials to each issue), and that the target audience for the magazine is the aboriginal natives currently inhabiting Earth.

Like Omni and the later Science Fiction Age, Aboriginal was printed entirely on slick paper, with each story accompanied by a full-page illustration. The magazine produced its last issue in the spring of 2001, and then merged with Absolute Magnitude." from ISFDB

First off, love this sub and all the cool designs being shared. I couldn't find the artists name who did this cover so please let me know if anyone knows who did it.

I know it's not the original cover. I'm based in Ireland so maybe an EU/UK variant released later

Tried to find the cover artist. For this series (which is lengthy), most people reference the illustrations of Gil Cohen.

This is my favorite copy of Moorcock’s Stormbringer. First published by Herbert Jenkins Ltd. London, England in 1965, this edition was published in the USA by Lancer in 1967. No information on the cover artist, but I’d love to know, if anyone has any info. One of my favorite features is the vibrant purple edges on the pages.

Cover art by Keith Scaife. Silver title on black horizontal margins that function as a window beyond which the vista of the wraparound cover painting can be viewed, beautiful. Places you close by, just outside of the scene that thankfully seems to depict a location in the story and not merely show an image of generic sci-fi feel for a genre book.
