Flower Power
This cover from Cycle Canada is not your typical Anniversary issue approach. Not at all serious or pretentious. No big type treatments. No special borders. No benefit-oriented cover lines. Just a groovy, retro, feel good cover and “try-me” discount pricing.
This risk-taking cover is praiseworthy, and I have a feeling it just might work, despite breaking all the traditional rules. Sometimes what’s old is new again. It’s a bold gamble.
Thanks to Peter Van De Geyn, at Coast to Coast, for bringing it to my attention.

i'll report back with a Check Up post in a few months to let you know how it sold. This is the type of cover that some people hate and others love. Odds are it will not work, but...

Too bad about the use of Hobo for coverline type. Not sure if that really constitutes a 'bold gamble'
