So here I am, planning to just look at but not comment on a cover that I didn't think particularly worked... and someone has to get
snide.
So...
Sorry, but the photo doesn't look like a biker; the over-the-top grimace makes him look like a retarded (or hopelessly drunk/high) homicidal maniac who eats bikers for breakfast (or gets beat up by them). It's also a bit close on him. Full head and shoulders, with a sneering look, would be much better. Better still, pull back some more and show either the bike he's sitting on, or the townspeople he's threatening.
Finally, if you want a retro look, tone down all the colors... wash them out, as if you just found this cover amongst the 60s remainders.
Done.
I'm going back to posing now.
