The Many Faces of Thrilling Adventures




As some of you may be aware, Derrick Ferguson and I collaborated on a short adventure tale entitled Dead Beat in La Esca which featured a team-up of his globe-trotting adventurer, Dillon, and the rock musician and erstwhile mercenary, Sly Gantlet.

This story was picked up by editor Barry Reese of 86th Floor Productions for a compilation of pulp-style adventures called Thrilling Adventures. The cover it was published with is shown above left with the logo and titles, but Noel Tuazon also produced a couple of alternative covers, which were not used by 86th Floor Productions.

Of course, as publishing editor Barry Reese gets final say in matters of cover art and what art might have been on the cover is just fodder for blog postings such as this one. Though, Barry did mention that if at a future date 86th Floor Productions decides to release a hardcover edition of Thrilling Adventures he may go with one of the Tuazon renderings.
