I'm really surprised at how that strange Jay Hook cover is hanging in there. I definitely prefer the Jerry Grote action shot which reminds me of the 1971 year book cover. (It's a different pose, but it's Grote in action and the colors are similar.)

The little cover that could. I'd resisted its charms until now, but it definitely has spunk.
