I’m collecting the original paperbacks. I have a few and they were what got me into the Discworld series as a kid. I recently realised they’ve aren’t published any more (except as butchered versions of the original wraparound art) and so now I’m going to obtain the first 26 through secondhand book platforms etc.

These will always be the “proper” covers in my heart! Certainly a bit questionable by modern standards but I still love them

I love them as an adult but as a preteen girl in the library they really put me off Discworld. I wasn't confident enough to pick them up!

I can‘t stand the modern covers they gave to the discworld novels now! Kirby‘s works are a remarkable childhood memory to me! Now to my own children🥲

something so wild about them. always enjoyed spotting all the weird details even if my visualisation of the characters looked nothing like them!

Love these covers. Met Terry twice. Once as a child and he signed my diggers/truckers/wings books and as a late teenager, deaths… celebs or others

Peter Bradburn :
Didn't influence how I thought about the characters, at all, but absolutely loved them for their chaotic energy. Wouldn't be the same without them

Yeah, I loved these growing up with discworld, they were crazy and details and you could look at them for ages and spot new things

Great illustrations which provided the base for many of the character figures design.

nearly all my copies of STP were my Dad's, they are mostly with Kirkbys artwork, to me they come together, I just wish I could have a proper copy of

I cant stand the boring covers Discworld books have now. At least Kirby's were unique and interesting.

I literally searched out Kirby covers in charity shops! There’s a magic to finding the one you need next 😅

For me I dislike the art but I feel it wouldn't be discworld without it. Its the character of the earlier novels, and goes hand in hand with the prose

I've got a large limited edition print of the Reaper Man cover in my study. I love his art work

They always felt so very discworld, super exaggerated caricatures! I loved trying to work out who they were meant to be. 😂

all of these covers are so much more appropriate and heartfelt than the recent shitty reprint covers.

Had to google horror vacui! Never heard that before, but it absolutely applies here.

It's how I identified the series in bookshops as a kid, before I really grasped the idea that authors were a thing and I could find them by name 😂

I only own the Josh Kirby & Paul Kidby covers. They are my childhood 💜

Richard Vaughan :
I prefer the Kidby art, but if I ever get one of the older books, I always try to get the Kirby covers... there's something about the "original" cover

I love that these covers adorn my - and those too I spot in the wild - rattiest most well loved paperback versions of PTerry's work.

His covers were a thing of beauty and wonder... The modern covers are not as interesting or anarchic

Steve Allen :
I've never seen these busy crowds of hyper ugly buffoons representing Pratchett's style or world. But it's hard not to respect their shared legacy.

I wrote to him asking about a difference in the art and the book description and he personally responded, I still have the letter.

I don't get how some were seen as inappropriate, his cover art was part of what made discworld imo

i don't LOVE them, but I feel they are a part of Discworld identity now, and they are definitelly unique. the republished editions need to do better

Kirby’s cover illustrations were brilliant. I don’t understand why they’re not used on current reprints.

His cover for Reaper Man caught my eye in the school library when I was 14 and caused me to pick up the book. His art introduced me to Pratchett.
