I recently bought this cover by JOSEP MARÍA MIRALLES and I'm trying to find where it was published.

Reverse image search returned zero matches.

It looks like it could be a Hardy Boys cover (maybe for a european country) or from another teen detective book, but despite my researchs, I can't find out which one .

I like that it looks it could be a movie poster. Lots of action, vehicles moving ... The 80's teen action incarnated.

Not sure why I never saw this thread before... 

I acquired this Raymond Johnson original painting for Eton (Avon) Books #E119 during the time I was writing his biography for Illustration Magazine #77. 

It's amazing to hold the canvas in your hand with the brush strokes of the craftsman you're studying.

One of my latest acquisitions, the cover of a collection compiling an illustrated version of three of Jules Verne's most famous novels, a must for a fan of the famous Nantes writer. Will you be able to recognize them?
For those who are interested, I have written an article on the origins of this illustration:

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, Journey To The Center Of The Earth, and From The Earth To The Moon are my guesses.
