Oh definitely so!

This 'classic' artwork no doubt knocks the 'Charles Hamm' variant into a cocked hat!

I'm only glad i noticed the smilie at the end of your post!

I also prefer No Shame's Italian transfer of COTLD.

Best looking DVD print yet of the film imo. Clean and colourful with none of that fine layer of grain that marred the ABUS DVD from start to finish.

AWE used the same transfer.

While I like the various illustrated posters for City, I've always liked the still used on this cover:

Got to admit,this is one of those rare occasions when the BU print is on a par with Vipco's!

I've said it many times before but Vipco's italian prints were better than most people assume.

I bought the BU edition of HOTLD/ZCF thinking it would be a vast improvement,alas it wasn't.....

Yeah, i have the old AB version and i thought it would be better, the only real difference is that it's 16x9.

I don't reckon Arrow will use that pathetic artwork for COTLD anyway.

I reckon Almar's got old Ricky boy slaving away right now for a new image and the classic Hamm art for the reverse!

Now here's a hard choice,which Hamm version?

The Vipco one is 'Letterboxed' innit?

What ratio are Arrow using for COTLD?
Anyone know?
