You Had Me at the Book Cover

By Jefferson Quituisaca | July 11 2025 | General

We all know the saying: never judge a book by its cover. While book covers offer just a glimpse into the story, it would be unfair to assume they tell the entire story. Still, many books feature eye-catching designs that immediately grab your attention—and often, the story inside is just as compelling. Check out our list of covers that are hard to ignore!

And that’s just the cover. There’s even more incredible artwork inside this Captain America: Brave New World tie-in book.
