Its been interesting to watch the covers change over the years, mostly NOT to my liking...but I'm not the audience they are aimed at.

I came along just as LL was hitting his peak in the late 70s-80s-ish, and have always been partial to the final "logo branding" of that era. Bantam was great with that in those days (Doc Savage...a perfect series design IMHO). While many of the subsequent illos have been fine, graphic design has been pretty tepid. I like the new "Lost Treasures" the best by far of these later years, and I've been re-buying to get the special essays by Beau which are really swell and make the books definitely worth buying again. It's cool to see some of the original art still being used, like CATLOW and OVER ON THE DRY SIDE, and I think that the Manchess art is fantastic.
