Hot on the heels of the recently released UK cover art for Robin Hobb’s Dragon Haven, we have a look at the US cover (as well as a looked at a tweaked version of the Dragon Keeper, where they tooled around with the typopgraphy, because, you know… that’s where the problem was) and, well… it’s not so pretty.

Since first unveiling the cover for Dragon Keeper, I’ve learned that EOS comissioned Hobb’s sister’s neighbour’s landlord’s highschool-aged son’s teacher’s grade 10 Computer Animation class to do the artwork. In recompense, they were allowed to skip two periods to watch Reign of Fire and Dragonheart. Lucky kids!
