Mitch Ansara (Spacesick) created a fantastic series of 1960’s paperback book covers of novelized movie adaptations, from his fictional “I Can Read Movies” series. Mitch made the illustrations as part of his “Make Something Cool Every Day” project.

These pieces remind me of Olly Moss’s retro covers to modern video game series http://www.flickr.com/photos/ollym/sets/72157612646893506/
