ALT A comparison between the book cover for Dracula by Bram Stoker and the movie poster for Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). The book is the Penguin Classics edition, which features a silhouette of a long spindly man and flying bats against a black backdrop of a castle and the Carpathian mountains. The movie poster is black and white and shows Dracula holding Mina sensually with the tagline of "Love Never Dies" underneath. Only the title "Dracula" is in color, and it is red.

ALT A comparison between the cover of The Golden Compass and its film counterpart's movie poster. The book has a young girl, bundled up with a mouse, riding a polar bear. The Bear's face takes up most of the cover.

The novel has a black H-Bomb with the title and author pointing down in the middle of a red background.
