Most of Michael Chabon's covers, special credit to the Yiddish Policeman's Union

...

too bad it was written by a feminist and that horrible pink font

Idiotic. You're probably too fond of fantasy in your life.

It looks like an album of an uninteresting indie band. Fucking sad.

Wretched. They used Paint for this.

5/10. Looks average.

Fonts are chosen by degenerates.

thoughts?

It is a topographic map you dipshit

>it's an underage autist thinks anyone cares about his extra edgy opinions episode

4/10. Bad fonts.

Map, haha. Cool. Very cool.

>it's an adult autist thinks anyone cares about his extra edgy opinions episode

>Look mom! I'm being negative on the 4chins!

HERE COMES THE MONEY BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

artist: John fucking Howe

>Look mom! I'm ironic about the 4chins!

4/10. It looks like Batman or something.

ded?

Too ugly.

1/10. Bad picture. Standart fonts. Nothing else.

0/10. Too classic. Boring.

minimalism is sxc, classic is sxc

...

I disagree. These things can mean decay. Depends on the context.

Nice. But the water is strange. 6/10.

I thought about Batman too, maybe the Bats cover was inspired by it

...

It's Shadow of the Torturer's cover, sorry for not including the title

Came in here to post this. Nicely done.

...

But then, it's Botticelli.

...

...

New pelican shakespeare covers are nice

...

...

I love all these covers.

...

I kind of like this cover. Makes it seem like a 80s cult horror movie.

...

...

Reclam's covers are a 10/10.

Another 10/10.

Oops, wrong image, meant this one. The black cover for CoPR is so fucking aesthetic.

...

Yes, it's real.

I'm more of a fan of the misused pulp cover.

...

But fucking how?

Hahaha wtf

New storyteller is added: the Construction Guy

>tfw I'll probably never own this

I'm kind of drunk but imo it's excellent

Huh, fantasy art is generally cringy and DeviantArt-tier, this one is probably the only one I've seen that is actually good. The Nazgul with the spiky head still looks sort of silly, but the rest is quite impressive.

>But the water is strange.
That's the point you cretin

...

*brain expands*

weirdly enough, I like all them old school fantasy covers

But there is a fine line between classic and trash

...

>fantasy fanfiction-tier cover

checks out

fpbp
Veeky Forums isn't completely lost.

I think this one is pretty clever.
However probably stolen from Coil.

Keck.

wow he's a big guy

>implying that user even knows what topography is

are you 12?

The original is neat. That one is not

...

...

Ted Nasmith has some first-rate Tolkien illustrations.

This is my favorite book. I've probably read it upwards of 10 times since I was a wee lad. Nothing I have read since approaches this level of comfiness (Cannery Row/Sweet Thursday/Travels with Charlie come close though)

...

Now for unpublished covers.

...

...

nice

...

The cover to an omnibus of Zelanzys Amber series

>too bad it was written by a feminist
why?

Golden.

the high quaility lotr books usually have good art ill post one i like

Haven't even read it but this

She wrote a foreword for a Bookchin book, I might check her out.

This.

Bruce Pennington's work might be considered kitsch but it was influential nevertheless and personally I like it.

...

Also illuminated books in general, although not always having spectacular book covers but usually chapter "covers"/illustrated introductions.
