McKean illustrations for upcoming Neuromancer

Illustrations Dave McKean did for the upcoming Centipede Press edition of Neuromancer.

Calls back to some of his older photo collage work for Sandman covers. I like it, though I don't think I'm probably in the market for another edition at the centipede materials and craft level (I'm quite happy with the recent Gollancz deluxe edition, which is roughly at Folio Society standard edition in terms of quality).

(Illustrations found posted by someone on the Facebook group.)

Thanks for posting those. Have you heard when it will be published?

>2 ultrarightist: It got pushed to 2026 because it will be released with the other two books in the trilogy.

>4 Inceptic: Somehow, I missed all of this in the announcements. I must say, I love the illustrations.

That's by far the best (to me) art for this novel I have seen so far. Thank you for sharing it here.

I'm still pretty new to all this and only recently joined the mailing list. Was there any kind of pre-signup for this, or is it going to be first-come, first-served when it goes live?

>7 XileLerinrill: No pre-signup list for this one (Jerad's moved away from doing those altogether I believe). It will be first-come, first-served and he generally gives at least a week's notice in the newsletter.

Thanks for this. The combination of Gibson, McKean and Centipede seems irresistable...

I snagged a LE Neuromancer from Folio Society, and while I appreciate the art and quality overall, I was *not* in love with the cover material.

But, the art here and knowing CP’s production quality—plus the plan to release the full trilogy—means I’m definitely in.
