As always, these creatures are found in the wild. No auctions, no Amazon. Only dingy shelves that smell of dust and dragons.

Ray Cruz turns this one into a medieval fever dream at sea. The striped sails practically glow, a dragon thrashes alongside the ship, a blue-robed sorcerer appears to be conducting the entire disaster from shore, and even the sun has a face because apparently normal weather wasn’t magical enough. The whole composition has that wonderful early Ballantine Adult Fantasy quality with a storybook illustration pushed just far enough into the strange that it starts feeling like something you might have dreamed after falling asleep over an illuminated manuscript. Add Lin Carter introducing Hannes Bok, and the entire package feels like another artifact rescued from fantasy’s weirder attic.
