New Penguin Classics Deluxe Editions – Akutagawa, Ott, Jason, Brown, Miller, Hanuka

In January I posted scans of a bunch of fantastic new editions of classic books from Penguin with covers designed by famous comic book artists. I’d heard that another batch was on the way, and I finally got my hands on the images so here they are. They come out this fall:

Rashomon and Seventeen Other Stories by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Cover by Yoshihiro Tatsumi We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson, Cover by Thomas Ott
 
Jason Chester Brown

Some other notes: I first saw some of these covers posted at the Fantagraphics blog. Tomer Hanuka has a really cool post about designing his cover at his blog Tropical Toxic.

created The Millions and is its publisher. He and his family live in New Jersey.
