The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 50, “Sharps and Soft” by Galen Dara: A woman lies on her back, palms open upward as a series of swords surround her. Wings unfurl from her back casting an almost protective shield. On the upper left there is the head of a snake, and scattered throughout the image there are pieces of the snake, blood a bright cyan tinge where the swords have cut through. Her dress is white and behind her a bright white moon is visible, and the quote says "Across from him, Barnaby put down the daily he’d been reading and sipped from his own beer. Pulling out a handkerchief to dab froth from his lips, he scratched thoughtfully at a set of ginger muttonchops. 'If it is ambition alone that lifts up men, then why friend Trevor are you here?'"
