Covers For 11.22.63




Above is the U.K. cover for 11.22.63.  Find it at stephenking.com 
Below is the U.S. cover.  Feel free to discuss which is better.  I like them both.  The headlines and newspaper feel of the American version speaks to me, though.

    The American cover is MUCH better. Since I first saw it, it had impressed me with its simple but imaginative design.
    Having said that, both covers suffer from the book's unusual title comprised solely of numbers. In the American version it would (at first glance) appear that the title is "JFK Slain in Dallas" and only later do we realize the book's true title when we see "a novel" under the numbers. Even so, I really love the cover (and the back cover which you did not post but can be seen on King's website).

    That UK cover just looks like a cheap photoshop job to me.

    Here's a thought on a possible cover: you see a guy standing in a doorway aiming a rifle at Lee Harvey Oswald, who is aiming a rifle at Kennedy. Don't know if that matches the plot, but it would make a memorable image.
