Book Cover Illustrations

Two years ago, I created the illustration for the “Christmas” cover for Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine. That was pretty exciting but it was one battle to get the cover right.

It’s official. Visitors to the Amazing Stories website were told Sunday: “Duncan Long recently joined the staff at Amazing Stories as its Art Director.” Let me answer two questions (you may, or may not be asking): Yes, it is a great honor. It’s also a childhood dream come true given the influence science fiction has […]
