Owner's Description
"Secrets of 3 Sunken Ships!" OK, I have to fess up - the title actually sounds interesting to me. So I might have even purchased this just based on the title of the story. But lets look at this cover - damn! This is pretty nice. The use of orange for the sky, as if the sky is lit up by the Greek fire being lobbed at our intrepid heroes is pretty sweet. The diagonal is just strong enough to provide a feeling of motion. I love that a couple of fish have been included for no reason other than they belong there. The use of color is super strong on this one too. Really there's only two things on the entire cover image I could do without - the fireball on the left looks goofy under the waterline and doesn't help the composition at all & the white text box that reads "With Three Surprise Guests!". That text could just be like the black text above the story title and not be intrusive at all - but no, some editor had to put a white text box around it and completely muck up the cover image. Doofus.
Overall - yeah this one is coming home with me - even without the cover image being pretty cool, they got me with the title of the story. That doesn't happen ever.
