Many of the 1980s covers for Stephen King novels are set in some variation of this template, regardless of typeface: centered caps with large first and last letters, middle letters shifted up. See also 1979’s The Dead Zone.

    I have always wondered why Charlie’s eyes on this particular cover are green when in the book Stephen King mentions her blue eyes.
