Stephen King's The Dead Zone

Jacket of the first edition by The Viking Press (New York, 1979).
Cover design forCortez, a peculiar Latin designed by Philip Kelly for Letraset in 1977. On its own it looks fairly clunky, but it works well in the use here. It puzzle-pieces together — with faux small caps, the inset article, and Stephen King's name — to form a block of type that almost resembles a logo.
In 1983, this design was reused for David Cronenberg's ITC Serif Gothic from a distance. It definitely has that old sci-fi novel quality to it. As a matter of fact, the Spanish movie poster combines a less elaborate adaptation of the logo with ITC Serif Gothic for the tagline.
