Concerning the covers of the French HCC, I must admit that it
was difficult for them to use the old US paperbacks-like
drawings in France (because of the ancient local editions of
low value that carried this kind of covers in the old days).
IMHO they could have used it only as an image in a
composition made around it, not as a full page. But, on the
other hand, I personally dislike the kind of covers they are
using now.
And you are right: for the time being nothing is
reproduced inside J'ai Lu's official Web site.
But you may have a look at the following page
which reproduces the covers and the logo:

Apparently, the McBain novel was long ago already
published in S鲩e Noire, but it was under the Curt Cannon
pseudonym. The present French HCC version do not use Cannon
as the name of the central character, as it was done in the
original (1958 - I Am Cannon for Hire), and of course changed
the title as well.
"J'ai Lu" is rather well distributed, so let us
hope they will do something interesting with the rest of the
new collection.
