When I first laid eyes on the top cover without my
glasses I thought the guy with the hat and beard was
Uncle Sam and the girl next to him a snow owl.
Then I looked closer.
The weird devil dragon thing still looks like a giant
blood clot.
Wow, this must be an example of failing to get rights/permissions for the original painting on the original book…? Really too bad for an author of that stature.
I’m stunned. And confused. How is this book getting reissued with such a terrible cover? Did they not ask any better artists to do a cover? For a couple hundred bucks they could have gotten so many better ones. For free they could have gotten so many better ones.

Wow, from respectable to cheap, accidental Escher crap.
What the serious hell!? That book is far too good for that crap cover.
