The Greatest Cover Ever: Round Five.

karne · 20 April, 2003, 10:05:41 PM

I'd just like to say on a kind of related but separate note that it's a shame that the printing process on early 2K's just doesn't compare with today's methods, resulting in somewhat muted colours and an overall detraction from what could have been even more striking covers.

This set me wondering if anyone else would be interested in a book of 2K covers, in a similar fashion to that of D.C's Preacher and Sandman collections, so that we may be able to view these classic covers in their full glory as nature intended.

Would anyone be interested in a series of volumes containing every cover, or just one or two books with a selection of the best, perhaps collected from the votes here? Would you like commentary from the artists responsible if possible? I imagine it would be cost-effective with it just being one page re-prints. Could we take a poll on this? Over to you...

236 for me, but only if itcludes the back cover as well(not illustrated here, shame on you Wake).

If not then 225

The best cover, is exactly what it says on the tin. If a cover is a wraparound cover then its the whole cover you are voting for, even if its not shown as a wraparound.
