Art Director Bill Laughton was inspired by his favorite old school fantasy painter, Frank Frazetta, when working on the cover with artist Cliff Nielson and author Mark Ellis. Frazetta's painting, "The Egyptian Queen", is shown below.
Frazetta was also a comic book/strip artist, working on The Shining Knight, Buck Rogers, L'il Abner and Playboy's Little Annie Fanny among others. Outlanders #43: Dark Goddess will be in stores November 2007.
