I was thinking along similar Indiana Jones-esque lines. I found this font. It's free, though not for commercial use. You may have to contact the designer for that.
Yes, I'd considered that--I have it at my shop, although I don't recall the pricing for commercial--but I thought that the other was a bit closer to the 30's serials he'd mentioned. But either would be EXCELLENT, in my humble opinion.

I'll try a few of your ideas and get back to you. You guys are really helping me develop the visual language for the series and I appreciate that a lot.

Okay. I followed advice for fonts and here is the final cover plus the cover for the second volume. I really think it's got that retro aesthetic now.

Ahhhh....that's the SF Fedora, yes? I rather like that. I think you're doing a nice job with these, Lemurion, and I'm glad that you've brought the branding along as you have. :-)

I VERY MUCH like covers in a series (as is yours) when they share common design elements.

I like these a lot.

Both of the covers in #33 are winners in my opinion. The font is awesome.

Yes, I followed your font advice and I think it works really well.

That was one reason why I was so picky with the original cover, getting a bunch of different treatments. I wasn't just getting a cover; I wanted to come up with a design theme.

Glad you like it.

I just want to thank everyone who's contributed to this thread. It's made my covers look much better.

It's pretty good. The only thing I'd change is a flare or shadow behind the title. It would evoke the style of old 50s movie posters a little more and it just seems a little flat right now.

The covers have come along very nicely. Those are books I would buy.

you aren't supposed to judge a book by it's cover, but with indie books, it at least shows that the author took their book seriously enough to take care of the details.

I would like to chime in on that sentiment, as well.

When I see these covers, I want to buy them and read them.

Ditto. When I see a terrible cover on an indie book, I also assume that the book hasn't been properly edited or proofed, and I just click on by.

I just want to say thanks to everyone for all the help, advice, and support. I'm planning to put these two up in April and May and have a third in the pipeline for June.
