Special Nightmare Edition Cover

This astounding cover illustration was produced by Steve Lines for Issue #5. There follows a collection of posts that include various pieces of artwork from different people and for different issues of The Dream Zone. Unfortunately I no longer have copies of the magazine up to Issue #8 so some of the information may be inaccurate and my apologies for this. It is just so wonderful to share these marvelous illustrations!
