Not quite Dali-esque surreal -- but pleasing nonetheless!

 

Now if we only knew what the interior art looked like!

Good point. I bought it slabbed from a Greg Manning auction in 2001. I'd like to get a reader copy or maybe I'll crack it open one day. Your books have great covers, excellent colors. What are the issue numbers?

[precodekeith]

Starting 2007 off with one of the best (if not THE best) covers of the WOM run... Lou Cameron, I believe.

 

Cool cover.

 

Here's # 7 -

 

NICE COPY! Here's mine! ( Dag Gone Ace books- so easy to get out of order without issue numbers on the front! )

It's definitely a better cover than COTU 6!

Anyone seen the movie SE7EN? Remember the end with Pitt yelling, "C'mon, man! What's in the box?!" ?? Look closely at the box here! Also, Ace covered up a couple decapitations hanging on the wall in background with the story title cap. Look closely...

I think this one is right up there among the better covers of the run...#20.
