Some examples:

I much prefer the U.K. version here. The woodblock art is sublime, and the red and black are nice and bold.
Both of these make great use of a wild ’70s aesthetic, but I like the subtle menace of the U.K. cover over the day-glo U.S. design.
The U.S. is my winner here with that intriguing and very “meta” book on a book design. The U.K. cover isn’t quite fully realized.
