Favorite Hardy Boys covers

Am I the only one that finds him creepy???

No. LOL.

What about the revised cover art? This is supposed to be Frank in this shot, isn't it? At least he looks a lot friendlier than this other guy.

And I guess Grosset & Dunlap thought it best to remove the girl from the window.

i almost missed that

Yeah- wouldn't want Frank to be a peeping Tom.

There's been a lot of great Hardy Boys covers over the years, and I thought it would be fun to post our favorite ones, here. I'll get things started by posting two of my favs.

Have never seen that first one before, or the rest of the classics you posted (except similar updated G&D versions). I really like them. They're cool.

The second one is also one of my favs.

Yes, this is definitely one of the best!

The end of the book was the worst ending in Casefile history. (Altough the ending of Dead In The Water, where Joe cheats on Vanessa  , comes at a close second.)

Thanks for the spoiler

Back to the topic of covers, the ?TV covers? were the worst covers I have ever seen on Hardy Boys books before the UBs. The one for Cave Trap was the worst. I?m planning to cover the cover with a blank sheet of paper so I don?t have to look at it when I want to read the book.

This made me LOL.

This will come as no surprise to anyone who has read my posts about my favorite Hardy Boys book...

Yeah, cool retro feel.

That's a good one. I don't think the Hardys would fight like that, though.

Funny how this theme is revisited in #80 Dead of Night

[hardygirl847]

Yes, BAB, and DoN do have similar covers.

SDLagent, yeah I don't think they would fight like that either. It does seem a little much for what happens but they do fight in the story. So...it's just an embellishment of what really happens. This is VERY true of the Graphic novels.

Are Frank and Joe fighting each other on that cover? I always thought they were fighting ghosts.

No, Joe's swinging a shovel at Frank because he is pumped up on crazy juice.

Yeah poor Joe thinks  "they" got to Frank too. Frank tries to reach to him brother to brother. It's a great moment.
