The Mystery of Olga Chekhova, Brazilian edition
So I'll admit I didn't know who Olga Chekhova (or Tchekova) was before Brazilian designer Leonardo Iaccarino sent this in. It's quite a story: one of Hitler's favorite actresses was actually a Soviet "sleeper agent" who may have been involved in a plot to assassinate him.
The American edition uses a famous photo of Hitler and Chekhova (below), but how nice to see a different approach on the Brazilian cover. And while I'm sure words-forming-a-swastika has been done before, this grabs me and holds on pretty tight.

I really like Iaccarino´s cover:)
The swastika is backwards on Iaccarino´s cover. Rookie mistake.
Anon: yup, you're right. The Nazis went with the right-facing swastika. Both right- and left-facing have been used for a loooong time:
Wikipeia article on the swastika
I'd keep the text all white on red background and the swastika should face the other way as Anonymous pointed out.
BURRO!
