I'm so pleased with the design, especially the lettering of the word Edge - It is also fitting that the razor is so prominent as the rather nasty weapon was a trademark of the character - it looks awesome and is a fitting painting to bring back the legend of the Wild West. It is also superb that Tony is involved in bringing these classic westerns back - Terry and I did discuss going with an all new look but only for a second and were ecstatic when Tony came through with the goods. As a fan of the original series I think I would have been disappointed without the classic cover feel. But what Tony has given us is both contemporary and traditional. Anyone interested in finding out more about the artist I direct them to the interview over on Western Fiction Review.
Next - I will publish for the first time digitally, a 1979 article by Edge author, Terry Harknett entitled - Writing Westerns.

Sharp looking!
That is very cool looking indeed.
Great cover. The first thing I did was to click on the image to view it larger size. The artist's use of lighting is particularly effective.
Excellent cover art - as you say, combining the old and the new. A great coup!
