If you haven’t yet voted in the first round of the first annual Lousies, you still have time to pick your favorite bad covers from each month of 2020. Exercise the wisdom of crowds!
And in today’s installment of New Covers For Old 2021, we have a better than average number of actual improvements, a couple of lateral moves, and another couple of “fix everything but the problem” redos.

“better than average number of actual improvements”… You are talking about “Dead weight”, right?
Well, at least one cover was improved…but it might be cancelled out by the ones that actually got worse.
“Dead Weight” is on my list of the ones that got worse.
Agreed. The first cover was bad, but it was readable and didn’t have any type over the face.
Yeah, Dead Weight kind of blew the curve.
I vote for CRAZY ABOUT YOU
But…why is this happening? I am lost and confused as to why a cover artist wasn’t brought in for an emergency overhaul. Someone needs to be a friend and tell him.
And do you think that would work?
A part of me, the bright and optimistic girl that believes it will all be okay, wants to scream yes. That other part of me that sees the dark nature of reality has a different answer.
