CM_Mysterious_Adventures_6

Every time I look at this cover, I find the composition ambiguous or misleading in the regard that the skeleton's position almost looks as if it's behind the boaters rather than in front, even with the perspective cues, like perhaps it's an over-sized skeleton. I think it's aided by the fact that the skeleton's posture looks like it is sneaking up on them. Maybe I'm just crazy...
