James S.A. Corey’s “The Expanse” Book Cover Prints On Sale

Cover art prints from James S.A. Corey’s Hugo-nominated “The Expanse” series, signed by 2017 Artist Guest of Honor Daniel Dociu, are now available online in our new print shop! These prints were previously made available for purchase only twice, and have not been sold anywhere else.

BayCon is now offering these exclusive art prints in our online shop with a limited invetory. These prints are LIMITED EDITION, and there is no plan by the artist to make additional prints available once they sell out.

All art prints are either 12”x18” (regular edition), or 10”x22.7” (special edition dustjackets). All prints are giclée fine art printed on archival matte paper.

Art from all eight current book covers can be purchased as individual prints. Six special Collector’s Edition prints (Books 1 to 6) are also available for purchase as part of an eight picture folio along with regular edition prints of Persepolis Rising and Tiamat’s Wrath.

Note: At this time we are only shipping prints to addresses in the continental U.S. and Canada. Please send mail to pubs@baycon.org for any questions about international orders.
