LOL

I like both, but for the book, the top one fits better, as it better illustrates (heh) the transition the comic has undergone.

(snooty voiceover) “And the splash of color in an otherwise dreary drawing evokes the pretense of life in the imagination, and draws attention to the belief that not everything is simply Black and White.”

Good points all. I’ll see what I can do!

The problem with the first one is that it has some color mixed in with the black and white (the painting and the font). It disrupts what you were going for. There’s also a bombardment of text, the less text on the cover, the better…

That’s actually my favorite as well, but opinion seems to be swinging the other way. I had a student from Adelaide when I was teaching flow courses online. Thanks for stopping by.

I prefer the top one — I like the transition from B&W to Kodachrome.

Seeing as you asked – I prefer the second, full colour, one.
