Japanese covers
The two volumes of A Game of Thrones feature this super manga-ass Jon Sow, and this Amano-esque cover featuring Daenerys and the birth of her dragons. It’s actually pretty forward thinking for these to feature together as the dual covers for this book, especially seeing as Jon Snow’s importance only begins to grow later on.
A Clash of Kings feels a bit like a battle primarily between Robb, Tyrion, and Stannis, but the Japanese covers go with the Stark sisters as their theme for this duology. The name of this book also refocuses primarily on the Starks rising to power in the North, with the title translating to pretty much “Banner of the Wolves”.
A Storm of Swords by Yasushi SuzukiThese three covers are a bit disparate, but A Storm of Swords covers a lot of ground. We’ve got what seems to be Margaery Tyrell in the first volume, which is about when she becomes betrothed to King Joffery. Then we’ve got the ghoulish looking Tyrion, who is a far cry from Peter Dinkalage’s roguish charm in the HBO series — this would be around the time things aren’t going so well for him in King’s Landing. Then we end on Samwell Tarly looking like a badass with his dragonglass dagger, above what is probably Castle Black.
A Feast for CrowsLannister double combo, with the pleasing pairing of Jaime and Cersei — siblings, twins, and lovers. Jaime looks big as fuck in the first volume, clasping his fancy sword in his left-hand, which is appropriate. The second volume with Cersei is just gorgeous, a stunning, mesmerising piece of reds and gold. Elegance, wealth, blood, and decay. If they made a full-size poster of just one of these pieces of art, it’d have to be this one. It’s fitting, as Cersei plays a huge role in this particular book.
A Dance With DragonsWe’ve got a scantily clad Dany with her dragons in Meeran starting us off. Then we’ve got a big piece of art with Bran, Summer, and what you can assume is the Three-Eyed Raven. An finally Jon Snow looking heroic. He almost looks a bit like Ramsay Bolton from the TV show, but with his distinctive sword Longclaw in his hand there’s no doubt
