After a very brief appearance as a comic strip Nightraven became a text story filler. Paul Neary supplied a few really nice illustrations in a pulpish style for the first story (and set the standard that I attempted to imitate-- very poorly) but the money was laughable less than $10 an illustration so the assignment fell to me. The low rate was justified by a claim that the illustrations would appear as very small column illos, only slightly larger than the thumbnails on these pages BUT many saw print as splash pages or across spreads.

I was still working in a regular job when I drew these images and most were drawn during lunch breaks in the canteen.
