Cover Painting by Greg Theakston. Interior drawings by Frank Kelly Freas, Rick Sternbach, George Barr, Alex Schomburg, Freff, Dan Simpson, Vincent D. Fate [actually credited that way], & Jack Gaughan is a the bottom of the TOC page. The cover art is plainly signed as are most of the interior pieces. Those are specifically credited in the contents listings. The drawing for Will Academe Kill Science Fiction? on page 63 is signed Tim Kirk - With Apologies to Rembrandt Van Rijn but Kirk is not mentioned as an artist in the credits. There is only one drawing unsigned/uncredited but the credit statement [other than the omission of Kirk] leaves two artists unaccounted for [Simpson and D. Fate].
