I didn't expect much more original Ledger artwork from the late 80s.
But what I hoped for, was some later on graphics work/photos, for
instance
production sketches from Crusade, or not yet seen private behind-the-
scene
stills from TLT, LotR, Crusade, B5...

Unfortunately we must take into account that much of the later artwork
(e.g.
storybord drawings) is owned by WB and  _not_ by JMS and therefore
cannot
be part of a calendar from thejoestore. Alas!  :-(
