That man cannot catch a break.

How did I miss this? There's a graphic novel adaptation of Jonathan Stroud's The Amulet of Samarkand, one of my favorite YA novels ever, and the cover art is (once again) terrible. Seriously, I'm not sure who has it out for this series, but I cannot believe what bad luck Stroud has had with cover art: these books consistently look low-budget, amateurish, and downright ugly, and this one, sadly, might be the worst yet.
