The first time I became aware of the effect of Sweet’s art was one rainy lunchtime in my middle school library, where Stephen R Donaldson’s Lord Foul’s Banestood in all its glory on the top row of a spinning wire display. Archers and swordsmen stood behind a wizard as he attempted a spell in middle of a glowing bridge, leading to who knows where. I...
There’s no series that produced more Sweet covers than Piers Anthony’s Xanth. Ironic, really, in that of the first four books in the series, Sweet only provided the cover for the third, Castle Roogna. Sweet took over the run at number five, Ogre, Ogre, and provided 31 consecutive covers for the series up until his death. Fitting then that Ogre, Ogr...
The Riddle-master series appears here out of chronological order to reflect the fact that I didn’t find the series until after reading the others mentioned above. This was the first of Sweet’s major fantasy series, and in my opinion, it remains the best trilogy of his work. His use of a flat color palate for the backgrounds shares the style of his ...
I know, the rules said I would only cover series of novels, but the art on some stand-alones and compilations is too good to ignore. This particular cover was released into the wild in 1978 by The Viking Press (and reprinted in paperback the next year by Del Rey), and combines elements that Sweet would use successfully throughout his career, includ...
The 80’s represent Sweet at the height of his powers, and Shannara is near the top of the list. Sweet produced the cover art for only two books in the lengthy Shannara run, but they were books two and three of the initial series. The cover of the first being drawn by the iconic Brothers Hildebrandt. When it was time to compile the three books from ...
I suspect my love of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons may have influenced my feelings for the cover of The Sleeping Dragon. Rosenberg’s story is based on a similar roleplaying game, and Sweet’s artwork mirrors this. It’s not the strongest of his works or his most interesting dragon, but it does pull all the pieces together and accurately reflects the ...
Sweet often employed a narrative structure to his artwork, adopting a scene from within the novel and capturing the tone and feel of the story in full color. The Misenchanted Swordis a prime example of this, capturing a unique moment from the book’s early chapters. The bright sunset coupled with the front-lighting from the candle provides well lit ...
Flight to Thlassa Meyis one of my guilty pleasure novels, and likewise I adore its cover. I have always been drawn to the trope of the fallen knight seeking redemption, and for me the cover of this book captures it perfectly. From the atmospheric tones of blue, purple, and grey, to the knight immersed in his own world, oblivious to the support arou...
Sweet was known for the stylistic design of the dragons that graced his covers. Often cruel and dangerous, yet possessing a well-fed and slightly time-worn look to their form. In Her Majesty’s Wizard, Sweet steps things up to show a bedraggled dragon, who maintains a sinister air even as its wings are in tatters. I find the co-ordination of the lay...
One of Sweets less colorful covers, though its place here is due specifically to the simplified palate he chose. A rare Robin Hood cover where green is not the primary shade, even though it is still woodland based. The spare usage makes the green more distinctive where it appears on Robin, and pulls the viewer’s eye to the central figure, regardles...
