Remember the english version? you probably own it.
It had this black cat staring aimlessly, probably at a mouse or some shit, that's what cat's do.
Fuck that mang, the swedes said
They took the concept of cats because shit, you love cats and know it, nigger
But they took it to new levels
they had an angry black cat blurringly rape everything
and made it the cover.

That's "sexy" wildlings ambushing Bran, obviously, since fantasy books have to have sexy females and manly men on them. For AFFC cover, Brienne grows boobs and wears form-fitting mail and armor along with a skull helmet, lol.

I love that Japanese cover. Tyrion looks kind of like an alien, but at least he's actually ugly like he's supposed to be.

I like that one too, mostly because Tyrion deserves to be on a cover, and despite his freaky appearance, he still looks kinda cool.

Here's another cool cover from the same set. There are actually two published versions of the series in Japan. Both series break down the books into several parts. The version with this cover and the cover Tyrion is on breaks them into two parters, this one is A Game of Thrones part 2. The other version of the series has each book broken into like 5 parts. My theory is that it the books are longer in Japanese than in English, so it's not feasible to print the entire thing in one volume.

Finnish version of "Man in the High Castle".

I always dug the foreign covers of this book, but the American one is so awfully boring for some reason! American publishers never give Science Fiction the honors it deserves.
