Cover Characteristics is a meme by Sugar and Snark- every week a characteristic is selected and we post 5 books with that week's theme.
This week's pick- Cards
This week we're looking at playing cards. There aren't a ton that I found- mostly noir or mystery type covers- but I like a few. It was a fun topic. I'll be curious to see what everyone else got.
My favorite is The Death Dealer followed very closely by Cards on the Table. I like the first Casino Royale as well. The other Casino Royale cover is just okay but I do like the uncluttered art- there were two versions, one for the book and one for the movie. Below is the movie version - you can see references to it as well as actual cards. I like this one a lot more.
I think The Death Dealer is my favorite of these as well! I do love the Casino Royale movie art more as well.
ReplyDeleteDeath Dealer is an awesome one, I agree. And the Casino Royale movie art is defintiely better I think.
DeleteOoh I really like the Death Dealer cover! It's almost like the old school noir pulp covers but more updated, modern artwork. I also kinda like Thunderball with that skeleton hand. And the colors on the Agatha Christie one are nice. But that is also some cool artwork on the movie version of Casino Royale!
ReplyDeleteYeah I like Death Dealer! I love her xpression and just the whole vibe of it. But yeah the movie version body paint has the cards and I just like how it tells the story of the movie
DeleteOh wow, these are gorgeous! I definitely like the last Casino Royale cover most! Man they did those so well!
ReplyDeleteI like that too!The bodypaint cover is cool.
DeleteI like the Bond covers...like the skeleton hand. It would have been good for the cover of Live and Let Die with the voodoo theme!
ReplyDeleteI love the Death Dealer cover and then the movie version of Casino Royal is great! What a fun topic!
ReplyDeleteThose are my favorites too!
DeleteMy favorite has to be Thunderball! CREEEPY!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is isn't it?

Thanks!
DeleteI liked the Death Dealer the best and the movie poster for Casino Royale
ReplyDeleteCards on the Table is such a fun book and I really enjoyed Casino Royale as well! I think cover-wise Cards on the Table is my favorite. There's something so theatrical about the cover.
ReplyDeleteI do like the Casino Royale ones.
ReplyDeleteThe Death dealer cover is my favourite out of your choices. The old Casino Royale poster is really cool and well-designed (and sexy).
ReplyDeleteCasino Royale is the one that jumped to my mind immediately!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover to Thunderball. :)
