ALT The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 60, “La Musica” by John Picacio: A woman faces the observer head on; her headgear is made of a split violin, followed by brass instruments twisted into what becomes a crown. Below her, the piano keys frame her collar, reminiscent of a ceremonial outfit. Piano keyboard keys swirl below her. She exudes confidence, power and beckons the onlooker closer, and the quote says, "I used to write rainfall into existence. With only symbols & blood I could change a tree into a wise man"

ALT The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 61, “Queen of Seven Kingdoms” by Julie Dillon: a queen sits on her throne in the center facing the reader with a smile, wearing a crown with a golden crescent and a pink-purple dress. She is surrounded and being cuddled by seven men of a wide variety of skin tones and hair color, all shirtless and with toned bodies. They also wear simple coronet bands, and the quote says, "In my tío’s old room, I’m looking for a book made of water. He used to keep it under his pillow and read from it a story full of storms and men made of seafoam. I noticed that I was never thirsty after he read to me."
