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 |
The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac, Cover by Jason | Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D.H. Lawrence, Cover by Chester Brown |
Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon, Cover by Frank Miller | Philosophy in the Boudoir by Marquis de Sade, Cover by Tomer Hanuka |
See the full-size pictures here
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.
