LANCE MUSTANG'S "MY GORILLA'S AIM IS TRUE"



Quick and loose design for a paperback novel by well known author Lance Mustang.

A gripping noir novella in the style of Mickey Spillane's
"Mike Hammer", except with a gorilla as the crime solving private eye.

  1. I like the colors especially the muted background that makes the foreground POP !

  2. I agree with Lysdexicuss, the muted antique-style colors are nice

  3. Thanks, guys. Like you said, Lysdex, that was by design and it seemed to work. It was supposed to echo a retro style design, and was actually just a goof around sketchy idea that I polished up just a bit to get the result...loose and silly.

    An actual cover I would clean up more. I can't resist anything that includes gorilla's and/or guns!
