To celebrate the 30th anniversary of this series, HarperCollins is replacing Stephen Gammell's illustrations with new drawings from artist Brett Helquist. Here's some of Helquist's work (with the originals on the left):
My opinion: Helquist is talented, but this artwork lacks the character and creepiness of Gammell's original art. I'll be honest: I don't remember any of the stories themselves. I do, however, recall some of the illustrations. Considering how long this series has been around, making a major change like this isn't necessary at all.
