[The Ginger Star Cover] Stark's skin colour...


Planet Stories®


Hey everyone!

I love Leigh Brackett's stuff and was checking out the covers for the upcoming books. However, assuming that's Stark on the cover of the Giner Star: http://paizo.com/image/product/catalog/PZO/PZO8010_500.jpeg
... he's clearly white-skinned.

However, the character in the books is described with really dark skin, burned as black as his hair colour by close sun of Mercury. Check out this wikipedia article for more detail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_John_Stark

It'd be nice to see a cover picture of Stark for once that's accurate to the character detailed in the books.


I believe Vic mentioned the covers were provisional.

Yeah, these are mock-up covers we use for solicitation purposes. They don't really have anything to do with the actual stories, and are replaced as soon as the actual covers come in.


Hi!
Look at the cover of "The Secret of Sinharat" and you see that he is pretty dark skinned.

Hint Hint ..read my (entire) 4-star review... :-)

Take care.
