Epic Illustrated June 1984

Epic Illustrated 
June,1984
No. 24

One of the better singleton entries in this issue is 'The Jewel in the Clouds', by first-time contributor and artist Jon Zack. According to the 'Overview' section of the magazine, editor Archie Goodwin was alerted to Zack's artwork by Boris Vallejo. 

Goodwin asked Zack to contribute a feature, with Goodwin providing the 'script' (which essentially consists of a trite prose peom).

Despite Goodwin's unimpressive text, Zack's offbeat, imaginative art style is well worth viewing. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information about him with a Google search....so this Epic Illustrated entry may well have been his only graphic art to ever be published.
