Roy G. Krenkel & Michael Wm Kaluta

The Green Star Novels by Lin Carter

Published by Daw Books 1974-75

By the Light of the Green Star is stricktly Roy but the interiors for

As The Green Star Rises are inked by Michael! I've owned several of

these originals and they are done on vellum and there isn't a hint of

a pencil mark on them so it appears that Kaluta lightboxed

Krenkel's pencil drawings...I've been told that he wanted to keep

the original drawings by Roy intact! It was a year or two after these

books were published I talked with Roy for the last time and I'll

never forget his ironic bittersweet comments on how all the art editors

he was in contact with wanted him to draw like Kaluta!

Thankfully Kaluta has carried on the tradition of pen & ink art that

Roy Krenkel would be incredibly proud of!
