The Book of Rages (The King’s Gambit)

At last, a high fantasy you can take seriously.

Because – mouths are hard.

And so are necks.

Nevermind shoulders. . .

Looks like a 3D character selection carousel for some video game.

I think my Atari 2600 could have done a better job with these images than whoever created this cover did.

Thanks, ASwan. Now I’ve got to wipe the spray off my monitor and keyboard! šŸ™

The font screams “rage” to me, but that’s because I hate the font, the black/gray on dark red, and the odd cursor at the bottom right.

As for the collection of comic heads, it screams lousy comicbook to me. I’m not getting a high fantasy vibe anywhere here, unless the author’s name is supposed to remind us of Draco Malfoy. (but that’s a whole different issue)

That robot in the middle with the red lipstick is a real cutie.

Oh, wait… That’s the one to the right, in the “middle.” Oh well, ya seen one badly drawn disembodied head, ya seen ’em all. Sadly…

All your book covers will be assimilated into lousy book covers. Resistance is futile.

Just imagine this steaming beauty with lipstick and a boom box — that’s the one.

“Three witches are imprisoned in their lair, ensnared there by a parasitic sorcerer masquerading as a youth merchant.”

Someone got a thesaurus for their birthday.
