The Mandelbaum version is the one I am currently reading and – either I am older and can comprehend it better, or his translation is just easier to grasp. Either way, it is good stuff...

The Pit Fiend in the first PS compendium had always been my favorite, but I am loving the "Dore" flavor as mentioned above. What translation of the Inferno are you reading? I have always respected the clarity and elegence of the Mandelbaum, but the old Longfellow one is some of the best *English* verse around. Beautifully done.

I hear there are rumblings of a new 4th Edition version in the works over at Wizards (or at least, they've mentioned it). IF they don't bring Tony D. over to do their artwork they are OUT OF THEIR MINDS. As I said once before, nothing brings out that postmodern blues like good ol' DiTerlizzi. You are officially part of my nostalgia, sir. As always, the Planescape stuff is highly appreciated.

I'm so glad to see this stuff, there's so much power in these images and you really sense their place in the history of fantasy illustration. I am in Diterlizzi heaven.

Easy answer - Lady's Ward, third on the left... Though wow - that's an image I would love to have as a poster. Evocative, is that pencil or ballpoint that you're using for this one? Good restaurant?
