Art is amazing..... Title is awful

 

[Lone Crusader]

The artwork is very nice but the title just kills it for me.

I thought Klapper was another word for a transmitted disease in German

 

[Darth toffeeman]

Brilliant looking Art.

Hope we get a UK title version.

Love the artwork, but the title is This will end up going real cheap at some point, might pick it up then. Will it have the new 2k Scan, same as shout factory?

 

[Darth toffeeman]

This really is glorious.

Even with the German text. I prefer it to the Shout Factory art and that was great too.

I'm just not digging that art at all.

What's the big blue thing going up the side of Snakes face? At first I thought it was the arm of the statue of liberty, but it doesn't appear to be anything?

Doesn't look anything like Kurt Russell either

It's a river, his face is shaped like part of New York.

If it has to be explained, it's a fail!!!!

I agree that really detracts from the image, but otherwise it's one of the few illustrated artworks that I didn't immediately hate. I think it's because I don't mind it so much on older films where the art gives it a retro vibe.

Not bad at all.
