Cantabile Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 A new thread for a new year. Hopefully new fantasy and sci-fi novels will have slightly less mockery-worthy cover art than last year :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Oddly, I was expecting more of an explosion of rage from fans that Bantam are changing the cover art again. So far the reaction seems to have mostly been, "Really? Cool, whatever."I just think most people have stopped giving a shit and everyone else is just doing that polite vague interest, smile-and-nod thing.

Jussi Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Canadian cover art for Bakker's White-Luck Warrior. I took this image from the publisher's new catalogue:http://booksellers.penguin.ca/static/cs/cn/4/catalogues/cdn_summer2011_cat.pdfHere is the US cover, which is similar to the UK edition.

Calibandar Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Nice, thanks for posting. I have sofar always bought the Canadian trade paperbacks because they came out first, and I want them to match.However the second trilogy has a different format, and is no longer deckled edge. I do like this new Canadian cover though, so I will probably stick with it. That'll be the Circumfix then.That said, the US cover shown is a marked improvement over the one up on Amazon sofar.

That's the style that the series has used so far, and it looks pretty good.Far better than cartoon wizards playing frisbee with dragons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidan Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 The Australian covers for Celine Kiernan's The Moorehawke Trilogy. My favourite set of covers since Abercrombie's The First Law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitman13 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Cover art for some of Peter F Hamilton's novels. There's his new new, Manhattan in Reverse, due later this year, and also re-covers for his Greg Mandel books - Mindstar Rising, A Quantum Murder and The Nano Flower. They're all done by Steve Stone and I quite like them, although I'm hoping the sci-fi cityscape doesn't continue for all re-covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 The Australian covers for Celine Kiernan's The Moorehawke Trilogy. My favourite set of covers since Abercrombie's The First Law.To my mind those make better pictures than covers- not sure why, but they just don't speak to me as a cover making me want to buy the book, and I'm already interested in the book, despite being brilliant drawings.That said, they're considerably more interesting than the UK version. And they could work considerably better in the paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
