King Kong Kover!

Ladies and gentlemen, we unveiled it yesterday, but today we're bringing you the King Kong Empire cover that Weta and Peter Jackson designed specially for us (cause we're their favourites). This is the first time that an Empire cover has been entirely created inside a computer (look, there are photos on the Hulk and Incredibles covers, OK?) and frankly we're going to computer generate all our cover stars in future if they look this good. For those who know nothing about Kong, there is a slight spoiler, in that it does star a giant ape, who visits the Empire State Building with his girlfriend and fails to buy a T-shirt. For your delectation today, we're offering you the chance to see the image a bit more clearly, by helpfully removing lots of the writing so you can see Kong in all his glory. Click the thumbnails below to enjoy. The October 2005 issue will be on sale on news stands from August 26 or alternatively click here to get your copy sent straight to your door! (Along, with a free Donnie Darko DVD).
