Best Trade Edition Cover Art--Nominations Closed

[Jean]

This thread is for members to nominate novels and/or collections for the Award for Best Trade Edition Cover Art. In order for a title to be eligible for nomination it must be a published work written by Stephen King that was released in a Trade Edition. Titles originally published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman are also eligible. No deluxe, gift, “artist’s”, or otherwise “limited” editions are eligible for nomination in this category.

To nominate a cover for this category, simply post your choice in this thread with an image of the cover art. In order for a cover to be placed onto the voting ballot for the Award the nominated title must be seconded and thirded, also in this thread. This is to ensure that we do not have an overly long list of contenders for the Award, and that--by virtue of the nomination process--each cover listed on the ballot is guaranteed to have at least something of a following come voting time. Please note that you MUST clearly state in your post that you are seconding or thirding a nomination for it to count. It is not necessary to post images when seconding or thirding nominations. Feel free to deliberate and discuss your choices in this thread.

Cover images can be found here (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?t=1130) in our King Collectibles Catalog.

While you may second or third a nomination more than once, we ask that there be only one new nomination per member.

[Kronz]

Surprised no love for The Stand yet. It may not be the best, but I think it's definitely the first of his great American trade dustjackets. It would be better without the needless advertisement of course:

[mae]

Anyone with some Photoshop skills care to present us with what that would look like?

I'm sure there's a link to the image without text floating around in Calvin's Corner (from Centipede's Knowing Darkness book)...

[mae]

I meant just author and title.

[Brice]

[Tito_Villa]

What do you have in mind Brice?

[Brice]

Can I nominate a UK trade edition cover.

[mae]

If I recall correctly, the last time the UK cover for Lisey's Story was nominated. So it was allowed then. I don't see a problem, other than it (maybe unfairly) not getting due consideration come voting time.

[Resident Chris]

Then i´m gonna nominee a german Edition:
"Es" (It) Heyne Jubiläumsausgabe (Anniversary Edition)

[Stockerlone]

seconded Es" (It) Heyne Jubiläumsausgabe

[mae]

Is that a limited edition? Because such non-trade editions are not eligible, according to the rules.

[Sam]

It's not the limited German bootleg edition, I know that for certain.

[Ben Eads]

I nominate, "IT." :)

For the creepy factor alone.
