Penguin Deluxe Classics

I find it extremely odd that none of the book blogs I'm reading have commented on Penguin's new covers for their Deluxe Classics line. Four have been released thus far. They're having famous (or at least well-respected) illustrators and comic book artists design the covers. Really interesting way to get a younger audience to check out these titles.

I'm really impressed with the range of people they're hiring--Roz Chast and Seth, for example. I suppose they're just casting a wide net? Good for Penguin.
