Space nipples!
Look, if I can't take my nipples into space with me, then why should I go?Space nipples!
It looks like a clear bubble around her head to me.Women of Wonder. I wonder why she has such small hands? And I wonder why she has a mirror on the back of her head ('cause I'm sure that doesn't come around the front)?
I know it's supposed to be that but the perspective seems off to me. Tube out the back of her shoulder and into the front of the helmet? How does the green mouth tube get out of the bubble? The connection between the collars and the bubble. Sorry just doesn't do it for meIt looks like a clear bubble around her head to me.
Women of Wonder is a great collection of short stories btw. Several classics in it, it was where I discovered Carol Emshwiller, Katherine Maclean, Kit Reed, etc. Makes me realize how many great women sf writers there were in the 70s.

Who did the Tigana cover, do you know? It seems to me that a number of Kay's paperbacks had that same medievalesque/art deco look.The UK covers for Empire of the East by Saberhagen:

To answer my own question, it was Mel Odom. He had a pretty distinctive style, as seen also in his covers for Leigh Brackett's The Halfling (Ace 1983), Richard Adams' Maia (Signet 1986), and Paul Hazel's Winterking (Bantam 1987):

And it works the other way around. The cover art for the Gollancz collection of Leigh Brackett stories, Sea Kings of Mars, is actually an adaptation of an image first used for an Earthdawn supplement cover--see post 61 upthread.I think the cover art for this might have been recycled for a horror novel I saw years ago.
Fun Fact: West End Games and GDW both used repurposed art from books that would fit in this thread for several of their releases.
Ralph Dula the dude reminds me of Warren Beatty.
There's something about the posture and shape of the main figure that seems Mignola-esque to me, though it's by Jack Gaughan, apparently.This is a pretty great cover for the brilliant Alan Garner. Never seen this Ace cover in the wild.
