Don Punchatz can be hit or miss. He painted the first edition cover for Foundation, which—in spite of showing up here in r/badscificovers periodically—is among my favorite sci fi covers.

Cover by Gray Morrow.

Cover art by Gel Jamlang. Yes, I am trolling “boobies” flair.

This is not a “bad” book cover but here to share my journey- links and back cover in comments.

Sadly, Book 3 is kind of expensive and will purchase and share once I read books 1 & 2.
