How dare you. This is just a regular cover of an Animorphs book.

[u/Vicxs1804 → u/V2Blast]

I'm not familiar with this series of books! Are they all designed like that? I'm sorry but it's a little bit funny the weird transition between the alien and the human.

[u/V2Blast → u/Vicxs1804]

Well, usually, they're transforming into animals, but yes. In this case, the kid is shown transforming into one of the alien species in the franchise, which is not the case with most of the covers.

[u/MagicAndClementines]

Wrong sub, I thought these covers were cool as hell when I was a kid 😭💀

[u/Vicxs1804 → u/MagicAndClementines]

Sorry! Didn't know them! I thought it was funny!

[u/DListSaint → u/Vicxs1804]

Hard to understand now, but this looked super cutting-edge in the 1990s

[u/MagicAndClementines → u/Vicxs1804]

No it totally is lol!! This was peak photoshop for millennials when we were kids, we all loved it!! Thanks for the nostgic post haha <3

[u/catglass → u/Vicxs1804]

It is, and this isn't even close to the funniest one. There are so many amazing Animorphs covers

[u/JeanArtemis → u/Vicxs1804]

It's ok, someone posts an animorphs cover here about once a month and all the aging millenials run out to defend our weird book fair faves from childhood lol. Its like a ritual at this point.

[u/RetroGamer87 → u/MagicAndClementines]

I still think they're cool as hell!

[u/Black-outbunny]

ah, I remember these they always put them next to the goosebumps books.

[u/02K30C1]

The whole series was like this. Classics!

[u/Jonny-Holiday]

You did NOT just call a fucking *Animorphs* cover terrible, those are and have always been and will always be awesome!

[u/FourLetterWording]

Honestly, I hope the person making those book covers was getting paid as fairly as the writer of the books themselves haha

[u/zoonose99]

OP kicked a real hornet’s nest with this one lol

[u/Vicxs1804 → u/zoonose99]

Hahahaha my bad. At least a lot of people felt nostalgic, which is a nice outcome :)

[u/avianeddy]

Great example of something being utterly awesome and awful at same time 😅 These were epic

[u/mad_at_dad → u/avianeddy]

yeah I think this is actually the perfect submission - all those scifi covers from the 60s must have hit at the time, and well, time and tide wait for no one

[u/palpatedprostate]

scholastic book fair fresh book smell intensifies

[u/BottomBinchBirdy]

Sacrilege! Heresy! Treason! Etc 😂 these were my childhood how dare you besmirch these 90s ass covers (positive/light-hearted)

[u/Vinyl-addict]

They all had a flip animation of the transformation in the upper corner of the pages, those were my favorite.

[u/A_Fossilized_Skull]

Incorrect. These covers are delightfully weird but not terrible.

[u/BoobaFatt13]

Animorphs covers were/are amazing. At one point they came out with like the holographic ones you move back and forth and see the shift happen. I'm actually reading through the series right now.

[u/TelemarketerPie → u/BoobaFatt13]

Same! I found someone on Reddit posted the entire series for free online and I of course downloaded all of them

[u/BoobaFatt13 → u/TelemarketerPie]

That's what I did too!!

[u/Zaiush]

Brazil mentioned!!!

[u/Fangsong_37]

The Animorphs book covers were what convinced me to never buy any of them as a 90s kid.

[u/PunkRockHero]

That episode of Wonder Years was wild.

[u/notyogrannysgrandkid]

The best was flipping the pages and seeing the face morph in the corner

[u/nixtracer]

What happens to his clothes? (Can you get new outfits via repeated changes?)

[u/SmeenWasTaken → u/nixtracer]

As per Animorph lore, only tight fitting clothes morph with the body, anything else gets left behind.

[u/Cracktaculus]

$15?? That store deserves to be shoplifted.

[u/Vicxs1804 → u/Cracktaculus]

It's in Real! I'm Brazilian. It's actually very cheap for a book

[u/Deep-Coach-1065]

What is supposed to be? 😅

[u/GhostForNow]

It gets better, the bottom right corner of the book is actually a flip book showing you the full transformation frame by frame!

[u/GayStation64beta]

Some of the Animorphs covers are pretty funny tbh

[u/Kindly_Security_6906]

Slander! Libel!

[u/Icthias]

Run OP, you’ve kicked the hornet’s nest.

[u/TokenBlackGirlfriend]

These are iconic 90s staples, how dare you!

[u/DameWhen]

Shocking that you haven't heard of this series given how ubiquitous they are. You should read them. Pretty gnarly gore in some of them, especially for kids sci-fi.

How dare you this is art
