ToddAlcottGraphics is about \u201cCultural Mashups and Midcentury\nMadness,\u201d according to screenwriter and graphic artist Todd Alcott. He turns\npopular songs into classic book covers.\n\n\n\n

His bestselling covers include 1974\u2019s \u201cYoung Americans\u201d by David Bowie which he recreated as a 1950s pulp novel, 1969\u2019s “Space Oddity” by David Bowie as 1950s-era sci-fi comic book, and Elvis Costello\u2019s 1977 song \u201cWatching the Detectives,\u201d which he recreated as a midcentury pulp detective novel. \n\n\n\n

He also transformed classic novels such as Nancy Drew\u2019s \u201cThe Secret of the Missing Fu**s,\u201d into plain, more worn-out book cover. All his covers are printed on high quality heavy, glossy paper with vibrant colors. For more of his incredible mashup prints, you can check his online shop. \n\n\n\n
