June 6, 1944… Memorial Day and Veterans Day are holidays but June 6 remains one of the most important dates in world history — when in 1944 the Allies stormed the beaches of Normandy to take Europe back from the clutches of Hitler and the Nazis. Here are 13 COVERS to mark the occasion: — MORE — 13 COVERS: A Salute to MEMORIAL DAY. Click here. — 13 COVERS: A VETERANS DAY Salute With MADEMOISELLE MARIE. Click...
A colorful birthday salute to JAMES BOND’s father… I’ve been a sucker for James Bond book covers since I was a kid, so when the late Ian Fleming’s birthday rolls around — he was born May 28, 1908 — I love putting together a gallery for 13th Dimension. For this year’s 13 COVERS tribute, I’m picking a series by artist Michael Gillette, who turned out this run for Fleming’s centenary in 2008 that commands big dough on the collector’s market. (He’s also done a different, newer set for Ian Fleming Publications.) So dig these 13 COVERS — actually, 13 + 2: one for each of the 12 Fleming 007 novels, in the order they were originally published, plus three short story collections — For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy and Quantum of Solace. (You can buy the illustrations as prints at the artist’s website.) Very good, Mr. Gillette. — — — MORE — BOND, JAMES BOND: 13 Great Moments in IAN FLEMING’s Novels.
