ABOUT THE COVER
This issue’s cover is our version of the classic anonymous painting, World’s End. Longtime BHM artist Don Childers painted it with watercolors. There are many versions of this painting in circulation, some with rowboats off the bow near the falls as sailors try to escape the impending doom waiting for the ship. The type of ship varies from painting to painting. Don pared everything down to the basics to get the stark reality across that America faces real danger.
