The Friday Face-Off: Gigantic

The Friday Face-Off was created by Books by Proxy, where each week bloggers can showcase books with covers centered around a weekly theme. You can visit Lynn’s Books for a list of upcoming themes. Join in the fun each Friday by finding a book whose cover is based on the theme!

This week’s theme: Gigantic

Today I’m featuring a recent read, Pteranodon Canyon by Tim Meyer, which is set in an alternate Wild West where the dinosaurs were never wiped out but roam freely throughout the United States. This book was so much fun! I found two different covers, so this is a real “face-off.” Take a look:

Evil Epoch Press edition. This is the cover of the book I read, and I love the way the artwork looks old and distressed. This sets the tone nicely, with a couple of different dinos in the background and the “Old West” character in the foreground.

Thunderstorm Books edition. This has a much different vibe. The T-Rex is right up in your face, with big scary teeth and shreds of flesh stuck in its teeth (!!) It’s a close call but I think this is my favorite. I love the composition and I think this is the better title font. But honestly, both covers are very well done.


Which one do you like best?
