I did my research before I did my cover. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41bgcfw3feL._SS500_.jpg Some 80s sci-fi covers are kinda cool and retro...but some of these are just bad. Nice site. Keep up the nice work. You think that publishers would do a focus group or see what else is out there before making covers to their new books.

But send it in anyway. There's another bank holiday in May so I am sure it will get into another honourable mentions! :) Bookworm> Yea we classify adventure books pretty much as a franchise.

The adventure books are amazing. And apparently I read someplace that the last battledroid has quite a complex system. Hours of fun! And I am sure throughout the ages when people envisioned any figure of Baal, he'd look something like that! Like he's exploding out of a Meat Loaf album. Not embarrassing at all.
