I get the “idea” here, but…you have to be uber-talented, in the scope of covers on Amazon, etc., in B&W, and this cover doesn’t have the zing. I won’t even go into detail on the horrible yellow font (SANS SERIF, PEOPLE!!!). If they had even a) fixed that godawful font and b) I dunno…made her lips bloodred?…that might have done more. The drawing itself isn’t godawful, but…just a big miss.
