I think Eaglesham was just asked to provide "a" cover and given mostly free rein.

It's a great piece of art and would be a fantastic poster or part of a collection of full page pieces in a "25th Anniversary of The Killing Joke" book.

But as a cover for a book aimed at and being bought by tweens? Nah. Bad fit.

Has most of the criticism been about the tone or that it promotes violence against women? nm - Dignan Mar 17, 20:19 1
- I think there's been both. The less knee-jerky people are arguing tone is the issue. - TWuG Mar 17, 20:27
It is a great piece of art and totally inappropriate for that book. And he agrees on the second part. -- nm - tobor.2 Mar 17, 20:18
