Too bad Mother didn’t get an upgrade for the cover.

[domino harvey]

It’s just the theatrical poster with zero changes. A good practice when the original art work rules, but not here

[dwk]

Since all four of their Brooks releases use the theatrical posters, I assume that was his call.

Does anyone know who did the cover for Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid? It's not listed on the page

I contacted JM. His response is that it’s a collaboration with the in house art team and that’s why it’s not listed

Girlfight

And I'm blind: I completely missed that the branding and year are missing on the left-hand side of Girlfight's cover.

What the heck could be the explanation there?

[cdnchris]

I'd have to think it's a misprint that simply didn't get caught.

A month of really solid covers. The only weak one might be The Long Good Friday but maybe I’m partial to the original theaterifal release art. All of Us Strangers and Teen Apocalypse Trilogy make up for it though, with the latter looking amazing from just the one picture alone.

Nothing really great this month coverwise. All Of Us Strangers is the weakest of the bunch for me, which is compounded as the one release I was most in anticipation for. Generally speaking, I'm just not a fan of tiled image approach to designs.

[Walter Kurtz]

Araki's cinema is not my taste but at least the first two titles had a nice visual theme going. Until they totally f***ed up that theme with the Nowhere cover.

It looks like a worse attempt at the film’s teaser poster, which is sheer perfection.

The Long Good Friday is pretty awkward Hoskins pastel, the rest are fine

[ryannichols7]

wonder if Trent Reznor is gonna get royalties from the Araki packaging?

the Happiness typeface is perfect for that original image, which is also perfect and thankfully wasn't changed

[dwk]

Happiness was changed. Look closer at the right side of the cover and the original poster.

I remember seeing this fan-made artwork once:
