Cover for the 1974 Warner Paperback Library novelization of Night of the Living Dead by John Russo, based on the screenplay for the 1968 film of the same name written by George Romero and Russo. Cover design by Gene Light, with a photo by Paul Weller.
The novel’s title is set in Benguiat Cinema, stretched into a wider form. An interesting typographic choice, given how similar it is to the original film’s titling. Additional text is set in Helvetica.
