Which King covers did Don Brautigam paint?

Post by PBCollector »

Don Brautigam did the cover art for many King books in he 1980s into the early 90s, but mostly paperback covers. He’s probably best known for the Signet paperback covers for The Stand (man/crow in dark sky) and Night Shift (hand with eyes).

I’m trying to work out a list of exactly which covers he did, but I need some help. This archived thread has a list of books he did, but it does not show the cover for all of them: https://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/s ... gam-Artist

So far I’ve gathered he’s done these covers:
  • First US trade hardcover: Skeleton Crew (reused for paperback)
  • First Signet paperback: The Stand (1980), Night Shift, The Running Man, The Tommyknockers, The Gunslinger, The Bachman Books (omnibus), The Dark Half
  • First Plume and Signet paperback: The Drawing of the Three
  • First Plume paperback: The Waste Lands (“cosmic rose” artwork, not the “ghostly train”)
  • First UK hardcover: Needful Things
  • Signet paperback ‘Salem’s Lot reissue from circa 1988 (woman looking through blood dripping hole)
That leaves these titles unaccounted for, based on that list in the link:

The Dead Zone
Cujo
Dolores Claiborne

Anyone know which covers he did for these titles?

I don’t believe those covers were by Brautigam. Suntop press has Kinuko Craft as the artist for that cover of Different Seasons, and Steven Stroud as the artist for Cujo. https://shop.suntup.press/collections/ ... nts?page=3
