One of my least favorite things to see is nice art completely ruined by ham-handed typography and over-thought design.

I think that’s one of the funniest cover here. Seriously. They really make it too easy for us. Because, you know, “they took my eyes and I saw”? That’s hilarious in the context. Sad, but hilarious. 😉

The ‘S’s are backwards and strikethrough because… why?
Why are his eye sockets ripped clean open through the bone surrounding them and well into the temples? Anatomy, Tex, anatomy. You can’t gouge the eyes and ignore the fact that bone surrounds them. Or were they gouged out with a hammer and chisel?
This art has promise but it also has too many oddities to make it for me. I like the tone and the style but it’s just not right. For one thing, his skin sagging makes him look horribly old instead of the virile, youthful image of Samson–would’ve been nice to reconcile the typical with a look of suffering and humiliation but this goes to far the wrong direction. The features also seem too Anglo. And his hair looks like it came out of a fashion mag ad for spiking gel.

They took my eyes and then I saw that my face looked like a morbidly obese person’s bare buttocks with eyeholes.

I cannot stand to look at this cover (no pun intended). I am completely grossed out. Heebie jeebies all the way.
