The covers of the PBB comic

Lately I've been comparing the covers of the PBB comic. Here are some of my random thoughts:

#1 to #4 are pretty similar. They all have Betty, Violet, William and Mary on the cover, and I think that the artistic style is very similar.

To me, the style of the cover art seems to change with #5. It’s primarily because of how prominently Betty and Red are featuring in the foreground. This is also the first cover that doesn’t include Violet.

#7 is the only one that has side characters on the cover.

I think that #8 is special in how it has a much more detailed background than the others. There’s more depth to it, which makes it seem almost like a page taken straight from the comic.

#9 has this yin/yang composition, which gives it a very unique look. Edelweiss’ colors really draw a lot of attention, and overall, this is the cover that I think looks the least like any other of the covers.

#12 is a departure from the erotic imagery of the other covers. It could easily be the cover of a non-adult furry comic. The very bright background also gives it a slightly different look from the others.

What are your thoughts on the covers? And which one is your favourite?

Next time, why don't they have a 1895 style photograph of the entire cast!
