DeltaVee Cover Art by John W. Pierard Resurfaces in 1988

I shared a great SPI painting last year. The art was for the DeltaVee supplement to SPI’s Universe roleplaying game. The starship design is glorious, and since posting that image I’ve kept one eye on the world and watched for a great deal on a copy of Universe. I’ve never had significant experience with SPI’s games (find at Amazon.com*), but that Pierard cover captured and held my imagination.

Well, imagine my surprise when I encountered the artwork again in the April, 1988, issue of Dragon magazine. It’s not too surprising that the art appeared here; by this time TSR owned SPI. See Wikipedia for the history.
