Ace16701

Best things about this cover:

  • Would make a good cover for "Gawain and the Green Knight," or "Gawain and the Floating Head with Three Eyes."
  • I really should read Zelazny. My scifi knowledge is actually pretty poor. My new obsession with Leigh Brackett may change that, though.
  • I like the play of light on the armor and plume. And the bold white line following "THE"—all nice design details.

Best things about this back cover:

  • Uh … yellow?
  • "to redirect and control"—that's a bold use of bold.
  • RENDER THE SHAPER (15)
