The cover art isn’t too bad conceptually…it just needs to be rendered by a more able artist (and the typography certainly needs to work better).

1) The aspect ratio is not squished.
2) The title font is neither Papyrus nor Comic Sans.
3) There is no headless barechested torso.
4) There is no photobombing wolfie.
5) No distracting randomly extraneous clip art.
6) No clutter of subtitle, series enumeration, blurb tag line, author’s credits, in clashing fonts.
7) No bloody gore or sexual innuendo or *shudder* tentacles.
8) No barely concealed watermark indicating art copied w/o payment.
9) No rave cliche from Midatlantic Castaway Reviewers.
10) No cartoon figures pasted on a photographed landscape.

Uh, why is this on LBC?
A:
The art style known as ‘Look I got crayons for birthday!’
(And c’mon, tentacles improve anything!)
Remember: It is easy to forget, but the best of the worst are still the worst.
(I agree: This cover could really use some tentacles to spice it up!)
