Book Jacket Credit Hunt, #1: Dealing With Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede.

I popped back onto tumblr today to an explosion of reblogs on a post on Kazul, greatest & mightiest dragon of the Enchanted Forest Chronicles book series, and several corrections on the artist responsible for that specific Kazul.

Trina Schart Hyman created this version of Kazul & Cimorene, stars of Dealing With Dragons in its 1st edition, but I incorrectly credited the artist as being Dalia Hartman.

My best guess is that I stopped my search for the artist after Google & Wikipedia's crediting of "Dalia Hartman +14 others".

So which cover did Dalia Hartman do?

The only other covers with illustrator credits I've found in an exclusively virtual search are these:

JP Hardback & 2002 ENG editions, jackets by Peter de Sève.

2004 FR edition's cover, by Yves Besnier.

That's it.

Online, most vendors don't bother providing extra details on any given book past langage, page count, & publisher. It's not even a given that translators will be named, in non-English editions.

So I come to you, the collective fandoms of Tumblr, and ask: if you access to a physical copy of this book (in any language or edition), could you share what name is given for the cover artist?

In English language books, details on any given book are generally found on the first page with printed words, typically the page left of a Table of Contents but sometimes snuck before/after an Author's Note. That said, my knowledge on physical books is several years out of date: I haven't been able to read non-large print novels since 2020.

These are some other, not obviously credited covers of Dealing With Dragons that I've found:

(from left to right: 2001 German edition; ? Turkish; 2019 Turkish; ? Thai; 2006 Czech.)

Thanks to everyone who sent corrections along on the original Kazul post (which I accidentally deleted: progressively weaker vision + touchscreen = skill issue)! Seeing so much love for the Great & Mighty King Kazul, the series she stars in & the cover art of her debut book genuinely made my day. <3

This is my copy of the Ice Age Essential Guide (featuring 1, 2 & 3).

It is a movie guide book written by Glenn Dakin. It was published by Dorling Kindersley (DK books) in 2009 following the release of the third film. The book features 64 pages.

In this post I will talk about the two menacing aquatic dinosaurs from Ice Age 2 The Meltdown, Cretaceous (an Ichthyosaur) and Maelstrom (a Pliosaur).

Cretaceous and Maelstrom are first seen frozen in a block of ice during the waterpark migration scene. These two have spent millions of years trapped in an ice berg since the Mesozoic era, but due to the warming weather they're beginning to thaw out and are very hungry. Along with the vultures they are seeking to eat all the mammals they can during the flood. Stu (a Glyptodon) becomes their first victim.

They work together as a team to bring down their prey. Both reptiles split up to try and hunt the herd in the movie and Scrat in the games. They can also defend each other for example If either Cretaceous or Maelstrom get hurt the other stands in to attack. Cretaceous is shown to have more strength and courage to take on Manny the Mammoth, whilst Maelstrom tries to take on the rest of the herd.

Their fate at the end of the Meltdown involves a fight with Manny who is trying to save Ellie from the cave. As they attempt to attack him, Manny wedges the tree trunk into the rock. He quickly gets out of the way as they bite onto it instead and are then taken down by the rocks as they crumble down saving Ellie in the process. Both reptiles are then sucked into a whirlpool as the ice dam breaks open thanks to Scrat. As a result, these two reptiles end up becoming a snack for the Mini Sloths (in the essential guide) and the Lone Gunslinger Vultures (in the movie storybook).

Cretaceous and Maelstrom also appear in the video game adaption of Ice Age 2 and are featured in Scrats Nutty Adventure (2019) as bosses. 3D rendered models which were used for the Scrat's Nutty Adventure videogame can be found here:

In the videogame of Ice Age 2, Scrat navigates through Maelstrom's digestive system to escape when he is eaten along with his acorn.

Cretaceous and Maelstrom's sound effects were a mixture of whales, tigers growling and human voices, which was used to give an eerie quality. In an early script, both reptiles could talk but this was removed from the movie as the studio didn't want too many characters with speaking roles.

The Art of Ice Age book published by Titan Books and co-written by Tara Bennet, features an early concept of Cretaceous and Maelstrom revealing that they were going to be alongside another character known as a Axolotl. All three characters are called 'The Villainous Trio' in the art book. The 3D sculptures were created by Michael Defeo and character drawings were done by Peter De Sève.

A Axolotl is only featured in the videogame of the second movie. Here is a screenshot featuring an Axloti in the Mud Bog stage alongside Scrat. Image from Sierra Chest.

More recently, Cretaceous and Maelstrom are depicted chasing the herd in cave paintings in the opening sequence of the sixth Ice Age spin-off movie called 'The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild' which was created and released by Walt Disney Studios in January 2022.

Disney's 'The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild' was followed later by 'Ice Age: Scrat Tales', a collection of short films produced by Disney with the help of a small team of Blue Sky Studios animators. Scrat Tales was Blue Sky Studios final farewell production following the studios closure.

© All Ice Age material is owned by the Walt Disney company under the Walt Disney Studios division. Walt Disney acquired Blue Sky Studios & 20th Century Fox in 2019.
