These editions of these three books were published in 199o and 1991 by Fontana. The cover illustrations are uncredited, but might well be by Clive Barker as well.

The best things in these books are the photos of Clive Barker inside the back covers, where he gets slightly more groomed with every passing year.

I also like this illustration in the inside cover of The Great And Secret Show

And I don’t really know what to make of the terrifying cover to Nightbreed that’s advertised in there at all.

The four Jerry Cornelius books by Michael Moorcock were originally published in the 60s and 70s. The  Cornelius Quartet collection was published by Thunder’s Mouth Press in 1993 and illustrated by Malcolm Dean and Jill Riches, and this edition of The Condition of Muzak was published by Fontana in 1978 and was illustrated by Richard Glyn Jones.
