More paperback book modifications

I had these elaborate plans for a new title and other changes, when I suddenly realized that I could keep the title if I just found the right intro. ;-)

The original is Campus Doll by Edwin West (a pseudonym of Donald E. Westlake), Monarch Books 189, 1961.

Can you spot the one small change I did to the original drawing?

His roommate turns into a "Campus Doll".

The only thing that looks different to me is that maybe the guy's hair is a little darker?

Youre a non smoker I think ;)

Two changes. The other one is the "Monarch Books" logo has been replaced.
I assume, of course, the tag line at the top doesn't count. :)

Nobody expects the TG inquisition!

I probably should have been more specific in my question, asking "What small change to the original drawing did I do besides the regular cleanup (de-fade, etc.), and modifications (changing to a TG Comics or TG Books logo, etc) that I normally do.

The answer: I removed the cigarette from the guy's left hand because I didn't want the iconography of the cigarette with its suggestion that the scene might have been post-coital.

I'm not that much of an artist, especially when doing it on the computer, so I though that I was being pretty clever using the clone tool and the paintbrush for the most part to erase the cigarette and straiten out the guy's index finger. ;-)

Here's my latest. It's Sex Swap by Manly X Morgan, Exotik Books W-6, 1964, which, despite the couple on the cover, is about a "Military wife [going] lesbian".

There are several of the tgcomics forum participants who will probably say that with the title "Sex Swap", the recap should naturally be about a body swapping couple. I prefer my version of a sex swap. ;-)

From the mean streets to a penthouse suite...

One of the things that attracted me to my next paperback cover project was the hand-lettering for the title. The original is The Strange Ways of Love by Clayton Matthews, Monarch 551, 1965.

...while hormones and hair dye haven't made him a complete woman.

When there is a paperback cover with a title such as " Like Mother, Like Daughter", it almost requires that the title be morphed into "Like Father, Like Son". ;-)

The original was Like Mother, Like Daughter by Jack Woods, Phantom Books 55, 1966.

His parent's divorce had been confusing enough...

Nice editing job on "Like Father, Like Son", and a good story-line too.

Thanks for the kudos, Andi.

All I had was the "Like Father, Like Son" idea until I decided to 'erase' the sleazy-looking stepfather in the original. That turned out to be easier to do than I thought it was going to be. The only real tough spot was the front of the left boot with the lacing. It was only after I did that cleanup that the full storyline came into place.

I'm starting to think that the 'walk a mile in his high heels' quote might have been overkill, and I should have used the more common "walk a mile in my shoes'. Any opinions?

I think 'high heels' is definitely better than shoes because it implies gender. And look a the heels on those boots!

Also, y'know, consider you're working for the Sleazy Paperbacks division of TGC Enterprises. You ain't gettin' paid for "subtle!" If you want "subtle," go to one o' them high-class hoity-toity publishing joints up the street!
