Book 32 in the Fighting Fantasy series by Paul Mason and Steve Williams. Cover art by Terry Oakes and interior illustrations by Bob Harvey.
Not a bad adventure, this one. You have to save the city of Kallamehr from an undead army of sorts. After a trip through the countryside, some abandoned village, back to the city, and then into a shifting forest, you end up in the Abyss: a bizarre crystal plain (or plane?) inhabited by eldritch abominations.
Bob Harvey's interior art is somewhat meh -- though the amorphous monsters are done well. Some of the illustrated passages are a bit poorly chosen resulting in some rather boring full page illustrations (the girl Mena or the army-encrusted valley come to mind).
Anyway, nice to be back at these postings after another break. Looking forward to getting back to regular postings as we head further into the series.... oh fuck, it's Sky Lord next...

Fighting Fantasy #31, Battleblade Warrior. The only book in the series written by Marc Gascoigne, who edited the guidebooks Titan and Out Of The Pit. It’s an interesting story featuring Lizard Men besieging your home city of Vymorna, which you must rescue by retrieving a magical sword. As a campaign, it somewhat falls short, particularly in the last, dungeon-crawl section (the orc funeral is pretty funny, though).
Cover illustration by David Gallagher and map by Leo Hartas. The interior illustrations are by Alan Langford (who seems to be the go-to guy for lizards and prehistoric creatures), although this edition has them erroneously credited to Gallagher.

Karl Stephan’s 1967 cover art for German sci-fi magazine Terra Utopische Romane #534. The hair is a nice touch on this Space Skeleton. I hope he completed his diary entry.
