The Different Covers for David Morrell’s First Blood

Tony Stella recently posted larger versions of these different covers for David Morrell’s First Blood.

• The first cover looks like the artist pictured Richard Chamberlain as Rambo.
• The second cover was on the version of the book I first read back in the summer (of 1973) before I went into 9th grade.  I immediately became a life-long David Morrell fan.
• The third cover reminds me of a teaser if First Blood had been made into a graphic novel and Rambo was based on Burt Reynolds.
• The fourth cover reminds me of a corpse who refused to give up his weapon until it was pried from his cold, dead hand.
• The fifth cover looks like the cover to a horror novel.

The great thing is no matter what the cover looks like the novel is always great!  Highest reccommendation!
