I had been asked to illustrate a limited edition publication of Firestarter when Steve wrote that, and I enjoyed the book and the assignment a lot. Michael Whelan: Yeah, I've been a fan since I read Carrie, all those years ago. ![]() Lilja: What is your relation to Stephen King? Where you a fan before you illustrated The Gunslinger? Are you a fan now? Hi Michael and thanks for taking the time to speak to me! I got the chance to talk to him and this is what he had to say: He has also illustrated the first book in The Dark Tower series, The Gunslinger and the last one in the same series, The Dark Tower. Michael has had three art books published, the most recent being THE ART OF MICHAEL WHELAN. The readers of LOCUS magazine, the #1 professional and fan resource publication for the Fantasy and Science Fiction genre, have awarded Whelan "Best Professional Artist" twenty-one years running. ![]() He is a fourteen-time HUGO (World Science Fiction) Award winner and three-time (the maximum) winner of the HOWARD (World Fantasy) Award for Best Artist. Michael Whelan has created hundreds of paintings seen on book covers, calendars, magazines, and record albums. ![]()
