The first cover is by John Gall, but I don't know if he created the other one. I prefer the first--it's less obvious and more freaky--though I do like the other (the dog is what makes it work, I think).
UPDATE: A wise commenter has directed me to photos of people holding up signs with the second cover and the words 'Now with new jacket' printed on them, so I'm guessing that resolves that question!

There are a few pictures up on Flickr that I suppose are from Comic Con. Looks like the second cover is final.

The second cover is cool... and I'm a little fascinated by the concept of this blog all up!

Thanks, all! The second cover seems o be the final version, so it's good that it's popular with you all.
I think thant the first cove is more original than the second
Googd luck
I agree with your choice, and like you, the dog on the second cover caught my attention and made me think. Thanks for the philosophy lesson!

I prefer #1 as well, though maybe it's a little too phallic. #2 is good, but that blue text doesn't look right for some reason. Could probably use a different color and font.
The dog in the second cover!.
That was nice:)...
I like the concept of your blog. Good idea.
Wow this stuff is really awesome!

Excellent blogs!
Very cool cover. The rayguns are a bit obvious, but I'd take that as a comforter set design any day. Thanks for posting this!
great ideea
can't wait to digest it!
Sweet blog man, book covers are an under examined part of our world!
I like the 1st book cover better, it definitely feels more "classic sci-fi." That being said, I think the 2nd one feels more modern... & will possibly sell better.
Congrats on being a Blog of Note! That is Fabulous.
Congrats on being the July 22nd blog of note!
I love your blog! Who doesn't judge a book by it's cover!?!?
thanks!
Interesting blog. I see you're into poetry as well. Congratulations on being chosen Blog of Note!
I'm definitely a fan of the second one, and the dog gives it that much more of a quirky appeal.

Indeed. The Dog presents the message that these are no mere super soakers you're dealing with. No, this is truely savage alien weaponry. Millions of light years distant, some civilization's version of the Hague sits in judgement of some cad whose countrymen wreaked havoc with their doggy blaster pistols on the unsuspecting populace.
So nice to watch this.

Pretty sure the illustration for the second book is by a guy called Adam Simpson http://www.adsimpson.com
Well spotted! Thank you--I'll add that info to the post.
