Relocated here until cover image can be remedied.

I tried to host the image through Imageshack for the time being, but it's not working there either.

Either one of these links should work...

I like the cover. Yeah, it's not that exciting or the best but it could be terrible. I think the colouring is nice.

It'd be a little weird to have the Nancy/Frank/Joe models on the front. Wonder what that would look like.

Yeah, I thought it was strange that they didn't change these to the "new model covers" but I'm kind of glad - these Super Mystery covers are the best photo style covers (IMO).

Of course, we are talking about a book that will be coming out in 9 months.  Remember last year how many times the cover for Danger Overseas changed from what it was revealed as?

It didn't change to much though, only the font was changed.

Cool cover!
I like it better then the first two HB/ND '07 covers!

I fixed the main article with a picture of the cover.  However, since SS's site doesn't have the image at the moment, I hesitate to post the article on the main page since we can't prove they are the source.

You can see the cover on SimonSays Canada (http://www.simonsays.com/content/destination.cfm?tab=25&Ns=P_PUBLICATIONDATE%7c1&pid=357100) What about linking back there instead? The cover can also be seen at Bookmanager.

Unfortunately you can see the small thumbnail picture on the first page, but then I get an X when I go to the large picture.

Cool! Also note photos of the HBs and ND are not in the cover like in the regular seris. :-\

You know with that cover, could the club be a coconut hut?
Title: Re: Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys #3 cover art
Post by: tomswift2002 on September 07, 2008, 02:06:09 PM
You mean, a club that is shaped like a coconut?  Boy, are the people at S&S going coconuts on us now?

Remember: "Don't judge a book by it's cover."
It could be a good book. :)

If it's actually a "club" club, you would think they would show some cityscape or something.

There's nothing necessarily wrong with the cover image, but it's kind of a weird image to put with a title like "Club Dread" if you think about it.

Are Frank and Joe in the UB's even old enough to go into a Club?
Title: Re: Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys #3 cover art
Post by: Olivia on September 07, 2008, 02:48:45 PM
It's probably a club for "teens". ATAC, because their secret weapon is being young so they can go into places where other people wouldn't blend in as easily. Or whatever their motto is.

It looks like a pretty good book.

With the way the series has gone, there will probably be big hype and then we'll ultimately be let down in big disappointment because we'll find that instead of the expected 50" TV we'll get a cashew in that very big 50" TV box.

But a cashew is nourishment as opposed to a TV dumbing down your brain.

I was trying to say that while the case may sound really big, it may turn out to be a small case hidden within a big promotional box.

I know - just didn't use the emoticon so I guess people couldn't tell if I was serious.
