We don't like neon?

WHen I first looked at it, I actually blinked my eyes a few times to get udes to the color.

And then where ever you looked you could still see the cover since the lights burned it into your eyes.

Yeah, I'm seeing it in my sleep.

I don't really like the new cover art. IMO it makes Frank and Joe look all rough and tough instead of detectives. Notice the flaming dice on Frank's vest?

Wow, I didn't even notice that.

See, maybe it's the little things that I'm not too keen on. I don't know.

Thanks for pointing out the cover to ?Danger Unlimited.? I hadn?t seen that yet. It?s a weird coincidence. When I was working with Jim and Mike on the covers to Hardy Boys 18 and 19, Mike and I came up with the idea to ?pay homage? as he says, to ?North by Northwest,? a great movie. That is where the idea came from.

Paulo Henrique posted this, among other logo-less cover art, today, on his blog.



Tell him what you think:

What was that picture supposed to be? I can't see it.

EDIT: Oh, I see what you're talking about, now. Not the Hardy picture the other one...does this work?

Oh, wow. Cool.

Sorry about accusing you guys of ripping of the cover of Danger Unlimited, it just looked very close.

Here's the plot summary for these books from Amazon.com. First the summary for D.A.N.G.E.R. Spells the Hangman:

Frank and Joe go undercover at a national spelling bee where a mysterious madman known as the Hangman is determined to erase the competition!  Teens from across the globe have been invited to attend, and A.T.A.C. and the Hardy Boys have to do everything they can to keep the Hangman from spelling disaster!

When I saw the cover I thought the bad guy, in this one, would be awesome! Sounds like Scott Lobdell's falling back on his superhero writing for this one.

And here's what the plot for Chaos at 30,000 Feet! looks like:

When inner city kids are gifted pilot lessons from a flight school, several of them go up but don't come down!  Where did they go?   Where did they land?  Could they not have landed at all?  Joe and Frank take to the skies in this high flying adventure as the undercover brothers seek get to the bottom of this mystery... even if they have to sail the clouds to get the answers!

Both sound good. Notice the last one makes no mention of ATAC. Hopefully this means we're getting another non-ATAC story.

Sounds like Scott Lobdell's falling back on his superhero writing for this one.

Never a bad thing.

Looks like the cover has been changed slightly.
