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.

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

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. |

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.
