I get quite a kick out of ...Oh, these crack me up.<br /><br />I get quite a kick out of <i>The Devil's Spoon,</i> actually. Partly because of the clashing colors and chunky, misproportioned geometric font. (You totally couldn't have gotten away with that capital S ten years later; the Nazis ruined it.) Partly also because I love bathos, and this is bathos in its most compact form. Not sure whether that's on purpose, but...<br /><br />Hey, and in fact, we have a design from ten years later. The cover on <i>The Death Star</i> is already so very different ... so mid-century, and so military. I get the impression that design would have gone over really well in the Soviet Union at the time, too.<br /><br /><i>A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder</i> is one or two slight details away from foreshadowing the Dead Sea Scrolls. Hmm.<br /><br />Nu. For overall design, as well as title, I'm going to have to give it to the <i>Asbestos Society.</i> It's wonderfully striking.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13497841713356574682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7368060344302126079.post-84275756989485947632009-12-31T00:09:12.961-07:002009-12-31T00:09:12.961-07:00Pear!

Also the name Igatius.<br /><br />But the best title - for sure - is "The Asbestos Society of Sinners"<br /><br />Are you being influenced by Twilight or is the professor that is sending these your way trying to weed the shelves in his own subtle way?Sue Rasmussenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03857901743954597860noreply@blogger.com
