Friday Face-Off – 31st May 2019

The Friday Face-Off is a meme originally created by Books by Proxy and now hosted over at Lynn’s Books. The idea is to compare the different covers of a book with each week being a certain theme.

This week’s theme is one I have been looking forward to sinking my teeth into. And as I have been thoroughly enjoying a comedy fantasy I’ve never read though wanted to for some time, this seemed the perfect time. The theme is a favourite fantasy novel cover of my choosing!

For this theme I picked Good Omens by Sir Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. A highly appropriate choice today given the release of Amazon Prime’s Good Omens series.

Cover A:

Cover B:

Cover C:

Cover D:

Cover E:

Cover F:

Cover G:

Cover H:

And the winner is… A DRAW!

Cover F features as it is another Joe McLaren cover that I happen to own. Such a simplistic but stunning design, I love it. Cover A is my other winner for the week. I love the duality of the cover that features in the story: angel and demon, good and evil, Heaven and Hell, black and white.

What are your thoughts? Do you agree with my winner, or does one of the others work better for you? Let me know in the comments!

Next week’s theme is a cover that makes you think of summer: “One swallow does not make a summer.”
