With all the news about the new Narnia movie coming out, I’d forgotten it’s Halloween! Here’s some scary vignettes culled from the pre-Werther horror comics of the 1950s.

The Magician’s Nephew Netflix Special Edition
Found this new slipcovered edition on the interwebs. Seems like it’s unrelated to yesterday’s editions. But the logo’s the same and it shows the hand of the same artist.
New Edition of the Chronicles inspired by the Netflix Movie
Cribbed from Reddit: A lovely new edition of the Chronicles designed in conjunction with the Netflix Magician’s Nephew movie. The covers strike a late 1960s-inspired Art Nouveau vibe with me. Very graphic, like this cover for a Neil Gaimon graphic novel I reviewed (it includes his version of The Problem with Susan.) The books seem …
Greta Gerwig’s Charn
Alas, I thought this Summer of Narnia was over. But then I saw this production still from the Netflix The Magician’s Nephew which features Queen Jadis running through the palace of Charn with Digory and Polly. It’s very different from how I imagined Charn — my view is more titanic and epic, with an ancient …

A terrifying Aslan …

This illustration by artist and writer John Hendrix depicts C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien walking down a side street in Oxford, England, …
Japanese Audiobooks of the Chronicles, from Kobunsha
Am I finished with the Summer of Narnia 2026 yet? No, far from it. Kobunsha not only published the Chronicles of Narnia in their Classics line, they produced these audiobooks, narrated in Japanese and available from Audible. They all have simple yet attractive covers in bright, pastel shades. I’ve noticed that about Japan and also …
Unusual Japanese Edition of the Chronicles
I came across these very unusual — to say the least — and minimalistic covers of the Chronicles on a deep internet search. I don’t recall having seen them anywhere before in all the years I’ve been doing the Summer of Narnia. It’s sophisticated design, yet simple, in keeping with the Japanese aesthetic. I think …
