DEPARTMENTS ith over 500 replies the job of analysing the resu It of The Reader Strikes Back is going to be quite a task- The results should be available for inclusion in issue 48, but we are not making any promises. Ithink it is about time we praised our excellent artists and it looks like the cover for issue 44 is going win the Cover' Well done Alan Craddock. No matter what your opinion is about scantily-clad females, there is no denying the excellence of Alan's dramatic and vivid style. Future issues of White Dwarfwill certainly be featuring more of his work. IBest
