The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman is $2.99

Opinion: Every Neil Gaiman book should be legally required to have Dave McKean cover art.

Quote:
A brilliantly imaginative and poignant fairy tale from the modern master of wonder and terror, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is Neil Gaiman’s first new novel for adults since his #1 New York Times bestseller Anansi Boys.

This bewitching and harrowing tale of mystery and survival, and memory and magic, makes the impossible all too real...

Kiki's Delivery Service by Eiko Kadono, translated by Emily Balistrieri is $2 on Amazon.com
Quote:
Half-witch Kiki never runs from a challenge. So when her thirteenth birthday arrives, she's eager to follow a witch's tradition: choose a new town to call home for one year.

Brimming with confidence, Kiki flies to the seaside village of Koriko and expects that her powers will easily bring happiness to the townspeople. But gaining the trust of the locals is trickier than she expected. With her faithful, wise-cracking black cat, Jiji, by her side, Kiki forges new friendships and builds her inner strength, ultimately realizing that magic can be found in even the most ordinary places.

Blending fantasy with the charm of everyday life, this enchanting new translation will inspire both new readers and dedicated fans.

I would argue that his biography of Duran Duran (the band) (yes the book is real but good luck finding it) shouldn't. But that's a rare exception.

There's a couple of sites you can go to where you give it parameters and A.I. will create art for you. I put in Duran Duran by Dave McKean and got these. It could work.

I'm not the original poster, but one site that is free is https://www.craiyon.com/

You can try "Duran Duran album art by Dave McKean". One result I got is attached. Not as good as the second of the original examples, which actually could be real album art.

DALL-E is one of the more well-known, I think: https://openai.com/dall-e-2/

Edit: "Spice Girls Dave McKean" is the thing of nightmares.

That's not too bad compared to the result I got a while back from "little girl hugging teddy bear":

Now that's some serious nightmare fuel.

Bear Head by Adrian Tchaikovsky is $1 on Amazon.com
Quote:
WELCOME TO HELL CITY, MARS

Jimmy Martin has a sore head.

He's used to smuggling illegal data in his headspace. But this is the first time it has started talking to him.

The data claims to be a distinguished academic, author and civil rights activist.

It also claims to be a bear.

A bear named Honey.

Jimmy has nothing against bioforms – he's one himself, albeit one engineered out of human stock – and works with them everyday in Hell City, building the future, staking mankind's claim to a new world: Mars.

The problem is that humanity isn't the only entity with designs on the Red Planet. Out in the airless desert there is another presence. A novel intelligence, elusive, unknowable and potentially lethal.

And Honey is here to make contact with it, whether Jimmy likes it or not.

It's actually the first three collections, so Books 1-9.

From what I've heard over the last month or two, it seems there's a bit of a love/hate divide on opinions. Anyone who finds themself in the former group is probably gonna end up spending actual money to get Books 10 and 11, and anyone in the latter is gonna regret picking up the first 9 for free!

You neglected to mention a third choice: Individuals - such as myself - who don't give a [please feel to get creative here], and never ended up spending actual money or regretted picking up the first 9 for free!
