This was the original cover for issue 4. I like it but the image wasn't sharp enough and I couldn't find one better than this. It's 79 AD: THE DESTRUCTION OF HERCULANEUM (1962) starring Brad Harris and Mara Lane.

Have you received comments about your magazine issues? It would be nice to see comments and discussion about the contents. Unfortunately, the cost of international delivery make them too expensive for me, so I have to settle with enjoying your great blog. For what it's worth, my preference would have been for your original cover for issue 4 regardless of the level of sharpness.
ReplyDeleteI still like the original cover but the image was too blurry. It's a cool artwork. The current cover is, imo, much better. There's so much in the artwork. It's from THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII with some tweaking. I'm thinking of selling the magazine in digital format for older copies but if I do that no one will buy the printed version. I would love to discuss the issue with buyers but there's no forum or place of discussion. I might have to think about this.

ReplyDeleteAnonymous from above: Thanks for writing a description in Musings about your recent issue 4 of By The Gods! This is exactly the sort of thing I thought might be useful, plus it's a good way for you to promote the publication too.
I already tried a forum in the past and no one joined in.
