I Assumed Too Much. Time For New Covers?

 

To everyone who has had copies  of these books the one thing they comment on is how refreshing it is to see books that have contents of super heroes, giant robots, gods, alien invasion, etc.,etc to see them with covers that are more artistic and well designed rather than the usual battle/fight scenes.

But did I wrongly assume that comic readers would appreciate covers like this? Should I have gone with the standard fight/battle scene cover and would that have attracted more sales?

I have lettering to do and some research papers to sort out but, in 2026, I am seriously contemplating redoing the covers to be more standard comics like. The whole project started in 1987 and there are hundreds of pages so I do not want to see the work ignored (I almost died three times during the course of producing these four books!).

I am not keen on drawing covers but I am in this of my own free will (I swear it -I am!) and having chosen publishing I need to suck it up and do my job. I have the idea for the Return cover but I will mull over ideas for Green Skies 1-3. 

Pity as I thought the covers were eye-catching but I did make the mistake of thinking people interested in comics would be interested in novel cover designs. My bad.
