Michael Kaluta & My Name is Paris

Michael Kaluta has been drawing comics and science fiction and fantasy illustration since the late 1960's. He is probably best know for his work on DC's The Shadow
and his illustrations for the novel Metropolis.

In 1987 he illustrated and drew the covers for a set of young adult novels in the "My Name is Paris" series. The novels were issued in paperback, but three of them were issued in hardcover for libraries. Below are scans of the covers from the three library editions.



Mystery of the Metro, by Elizabeth Howard. Random House, 1987.




Mystery of the Deadly Diamond, by Elizabeth Howard. Random House, 1987.




Mystery of the Magician, by Elizabeth Howard. Random House, 1987.



Below is a picture I took of Michael Kaluta at the Alterna-Con in Charlotte, NC in 1985.
