China Mieville Cover Gallery revisted

I'm grateful to Tom who left a message on my original China Mieville cover gallery. He sent me a link to the Out There Books blog and an article on the Czech editions of China Mieville's novels, all of which have awesome covers by Edward Miller rather than the covers by Crush that we have had in the UK during a rebranding exercise at Pan Macmillan. The Laser Books New Weird line is definitely worth a look if you're a fan of Edward Miller as he has produced covers for other authors.

As an extra bonus, I've dug around Les Edwards' website and found some of the original paintings. The site is well worth visiting as it contains many other images and higher quality versions of the images below.

China Mieville Cover Gallery

China Mieville is a multiple award-winning author of fantasy novels. See his Wikipedia entry for more background. The beautiful artwork for his Perdido Street Station and The Scar is by Les Edwards, who used the pseudonym Edward Miller to break out in a more painterly direction and produce covers for books he would probably not have been otherwise considered for. The designed covers are nice — Crush have also done some very nice Agatha Christie covers and the latest redesign of Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers series — but they're not a patch of the Miller painted covers.
