This is a weekly meme created by Books by Proxy, but currently run by Lynn’s Book Blog.
“Remember, remember the fifth of November”
This weeks theme: A cover inspired by Bonfire Night (i.e. Guy Fawkes, Gunpowder Plot – think fires, fireworks, historical)
I am slightly ashamed to admit I have never heard of Guy Fawkes night, but I just read the Wikipedia page on it and its actually pretty interesting!
Also, I just asked Phil if he had any ideas for a cover this week and he said V for Vendetta because the mask is Guy Fawkes. I have seen the movie so it turns out I have heard of Guy Fawkes, it has just been so long that I forgot!
My Choice:V for Vendetta
Covers:
Vertigo 2005 | Vertigo 1990 | Vertigo 2009 | Warner Books
Globo 1993| Magic Press 2005 | Audible 2006 | Tilsner 2003
ECC Ediciones 2016 | Magic Press 2006 | RW-Lion 2013 | German Edition
Least Favorites:
The third one (RW-Lion 2013) I really like except that he kind of looks too much like a pirate and its bugging me.

I wish I could take credit for recognizing the connection 😂 but my friend had to tell me! I have seen V for Vendetta but it has been a really long time!

So tough to pick a fave. I think I like the 1990 Vertigo cover the best, just because I do enjoy the mask. 😀
