What are your favorite book covers?
The original cover of the first edition paperbacks of V.C. Andrews’ 1979 bestseller Flowers in the Attic, as well as those of the subsequent novels in the Dollenganger book series.The cover of the original paperbacks had a die-cut window, from which is seen a young girl looking out.When the cover is opened, it reveals a larger scene on the page behind it showing four children menaced by a malevolent presence.Book designer Milton Charles, the art director for Pocket Books at the time, conceived the original design for the very first cover, which set the tone, look, and feel for every V.C. Andrews book cover to follow.The paintings are by artist Gillian Hills.Milton Charles continued to design the covers of V.C. Andrews’ books up until his retirement in 1985, and he also designed the covers of Kurt Vonnegut’s Mother Night, Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49, Jackie Collins’ Hollywood Wives, and the “locket cover” of the Judy Blume novel Forever, which employed the same die-cut opening concept.He had a very successful career as an Art Director, winning in excess of 500 awards from American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), Art Directors Club, The Society of Illustrators, Communication Arts Annual, Creativity in America and American Book Publishers (ABA) all in New York, NY. He died in Califon, New Jersey in 2002.
