Genius.... simply Genius....Click for full image

Phil’s Art Direction: Are you SURE Bradbury is sufficiently recognisable enough to appear on his own book covers? Well, jazz it up a bit; he looks a bit plain.
Published 2009

Actually, that cover is a visual feast!I would pick that one up.Neeaaa, I've seen worse.Interesting, but I would still take it on a train.It's somewhere between the awful/good scale.Would not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...I swear, thats my flatmates!Gah... my eyes! They are burning!Good Show Sir.... Good Show! (Average: 7.97 out of 10)

    Shouldn’t the more appropriate title be RAY BRADBURY’S BOOKS OF BLOOD…?
    Oh, right, Clive Barker’s got dibs on that one.

  4. A.R.Yngve Says:

    You have to look a LOT of times at the author name to spot the “super-duper-clever” use of color to hide “Ray” inside “Bradbury.”

    Way to go, Art Department.

    Subtle use of the flag colors of Fran…Romania? We’ll always have Bucharest.

    Ray Bradbury’s THE DAY THE EIFFEL TOWER WAS COVERED IN BLOOD
    (Parental Advisory – Lots of Blood)

  11. Anti-Sceptic Says:

    It looks like Ray blasted the Eiffel Tower with a giant “sh-art”. He’s trying a bit of subterfuge by showing us his book of lights.The look of guilt is clear on his face.

    I bet they’re paying the designers by the number of characters.
