GEORGE ZIEL CHECKLIST
BALLANTINE & BANTAM
|
U2285 THE WATCH BELOW – White,
1966. |
|
|
PRAISE THE HUMAN SEASON
by Don Robertson, Ballantine 24526, 1975. |
|
24567 THE DARK SIDE OF PARADISE – Wagner, 1975.
Some Ziel collectors count this
as his worst cover, and I have to agree that horse head could use some
retouching. With the possible exception of Leonardo da Vinci, no artist has
ever painted a masterpiece on every single try. |
 |
| 24614 APPLESHAW – Damien, 1975. |
|
|
|
24615 THE OPAL
LEGACY – Kent, Oct
1975. Birthstone Gothic #10.
Although it appears several
different artists did this “Birthstone Gothic” series in 1975, I believe that
the 12 of the covers for 1976’s “Zodiac Gothic” series below were all painted
by George Ziel. |
|
24707 THE WITCH’S WEB – Spicer, 1975.
Thanks to Ruben at paperbackart.com |

 |
MAKE A WISH
by Don Robertson, Ballantine 26051, 1979. |
ON THE BEACH
by Nevil Shute, Ballantine 27134, 1978.
This bestseller has been reprinted many
times, but the 1978 Ballantine featured
this cover by George Ziel. The broken doll
is a haunting image that identifies the artist. |
 |
|
27639 THE SPIRIT – Page, 1978. |
|
|
27846 SWEETHEART, SWEETHEART – Taylor, 1979. |
|
|
MYSTICAL UNION
by Don Robertson, Ballantine 28201, 1979. |
|
I suspect George Ziel might be the artist, but I’m not
positive. It is possible this could be the work of a different artist. You
can help this project if you know who painted this cover.
