40. Stephen King - The Gunslinger
Nominated by: NBIceman (4/6 remaining)

This cover contrasts nicely with NBIceman's other nomination, Ys Origin. Both feature towers looming ever-present in the background, but the Gunslinger portrays it in that dark light I had previously discussed. The orange haze accents the atmosphere of oppression, famine and death, and our central character for this cover, the Gunslinger, invokes western-imagery to portray a new frontier, a hostile environment, and isolation as the lone ranger faces this new world in solitude. I like how the Gunslinger is level with the tower, actually giving the viewer that glimmer of hope you need in a world like this. They're of equal stature, and the hero will not let himself be intimidated by this symbol of power. It's a distant obstacle, but perhaps one that's not as intimidating as it initially appears.
