Worst reprint covers - No movie ones since that's too easy

Been walking at the bookstore and saw that Thud got hit by Nigger on the cover.

I remember the original covers of Discworld to be really charming.

OP, are you retarded, or do you just leave your mom's basement so rarely that anything less than paper-white skin is basically a shitskin to you?

I'd be more concerned that she appears to have an untreated hyperthyroid condition. Good Lord, is it that hard to make eyes that aren't bugging out of their sockets?

Think I see why the Israeli army didn't place you on the front lines. Still, this is a good thread idea. Wish I could contribute more than a snide comment but I don't pay attention enough to recall any awful reprint covers I've seen.

Okay, this is gonna be a bit of a sperg on my part, but Resident Evil had a series of novelizations that had some really cool 90s era painted covers. (Except for the book on Nemesis, which seems like a weird air brushed 3d art thing and looks awful) They redid them when reprinting the books and replaced them with still CGI shots from whatever game in the most generic way possible.





Like damn I love them. They feel pretty authentic to the era of the games (which covers 0, 1, 2, and 3) in that horrific yet campy kind of way. Then compare the original of Caliban Cove to the reprint:


Its like they paid a dude on fiver.
