Kristy looks terrible on the cover of Island Adventure! Really scrawny or something - plus it took me years to realise that the hand at her chest was actually Claudia's! YES! I remember looking at it and thinking "what is going on with Kristy? Why is she waving like that??" And then sometime later, OH!

I noticed on a lot of covers (Sister War for example) that Kristy looks like she's rolling her eyes back in her head. Some of the covers are so odd looking that I have never really paid much attention to them. Might ruin my mental image of the characters ;D

Not sure if there is a thread for Most Flattering Covers or not but the cover of the Complete Guide is actually really cute. Stacey looks kind of dumb and not what I'd picture Stacey like at all but the rest, particularly Dawn and Abby look really cute!!

Not sure if anyone else has commented on this already, but I think Stacey looks waaay older than 13 on the cover of "Stacey's Movie." She's pretty, but looks like she's in her 30s. And how did "very thin" Stacey get such huge muscles? She looks like she's been working at a construction site lifting heavy steel beams on a daily basis. Pete (who's filming her on the cover) must be secretly jealous.

I just noticed the cover of SS #1. None of the girls look like they should (not in my mind, at least), Jessi looks like an Asian boy and Stacey has her mouth open like she's trying to catch something falling out of the sky. And the poor little girls in the background have no necks. It seems like some of the earliest covers - especially the Super Specials - were the worst.

That's super special #2, isn't it? I always thought the girl with her mouth open was Dawn. Dunno why. But ITA about Jessi looking like an Asian boy.

Hodges Soileau had a problem with hands. Dawn had an extra arm on SS #9.
Claudia looks like a mutant goblin on 'Claudia and the Bad Joke'.

Stacey (in white, I assume) has her arm out, so her hand is behind Dawns head. And Dawn's arm is behind Kristy, so her hand is at Kristy's chest height, under Stacey's arm. It does look weird though.

^ They all look like they're kind of falling over, too. Covers like these are why I usually don't look at the illustrations. I tend to prefer forming my own mental pictures. ;D

On the cover of the Super Special #4, What is up with Mallory's outfit? It looks like something a little kid would wear. I also think its freaky how scrawny Kristy looks. I used to think she was sick or something. The hand at her chest just gets me every time.

For some reason, seeing the cover of "MA and the Haunted Bookstore" made me want to laugh when I first saw it- MA looks like she's about to fall over on her back while being hypnotized by a falling book.

Kristy reminds me of Jo on Facts of Life for the cover of Baby-sitter's on Board. Lol, I thought that too. There were a lot of books where I thought Kristy looked like Jo.
