Well, there's your "pearls" clue from the New Year's drawing.

Poor swo, new covers always tend to be at the end of a page

Wait, Criterion is not going to release Daisies as a mainline title? If they did, they would make so much money off of every artsy girl here in Los Angeles!

Also, that Frampton cover is all sorts of cool.

I already own the Second Run, but this is still a must purchase. I'm so glad we're finally getting Pearls of the Deep.

Perhaps the most dunderheaded Eclipse decision yet. Everyone with even a little film knowledge knows Daisies, they'd make a mint-- although I love the film they paired it with on the same disc a whole lot more.

The Organizer is perfect, Harold and Maude's color scheme is weird-- those colors are far too warm for the film

Ridiculous, and yet worth owning a third cop of Daisies just for Capricious Summer let alone Pearls of the Deep and The Joke.

I love the way Harold is drawn.

Really? It's stock must have risen in recent years then, because I remember this as an obscure curiosity.

I like the idea of Harold and Maude's cover, though the execution is iffy. It kind of looks like a web-comic.

I feel like I should recognize the artist for Harold & Maude, but I don't. Anyone know?

The Organizer is probably Caitlin Kuhwald's best cover yet.

Though what was the significance of there being three of them?

Matt, could the artist for Harold and Maude be Sammy Harkham, by any chance?

I know I've been her cheerleader for as long as I've posted here, so I'm hardly impartial, but I'm glad she's doing more work for Criterion

That`s going to be one cheap month for me. Maybe getting Harold and Maude, probably none of the others.

The Harold and Maude cover has to be by Chris Ware, if not its a complete rip of his style.

Caitlin Kuhwald turned in her illustration on Wednesday, and Criterion had the title treatment and design done in time to have it up on Friday.

Interesting to compare a situation like this to that of Alambrista, where we heard that an illustration had been done about a year and a half ago, and the illustrator has had his design on the web for a nearly a year that we're aware of.

Why do you think we're getting Tiny Furniture on the mainline instead?

That Harold & Maude cover looks nothing like Chris Ware's or Charles Burn's style.

Admittedly, the few artsy girls I know who saw Tiny Furniture really, really hated it. Go figure!
