* Most covers and posters for ''She Freak'' focus on the very last shot of the movie - main character Jade having been transformed into a disfigured circus freak as comeuppance. That said, it already sort of has a SpoilerTitle, and if the viewer notices the blatant similarities to [[{{Film/Freaks}} a more famous horror movie set at a freak show]] , they might guess where the plot is headed.

* ''ComicBook/XMen'', volume 2, #54, the penultimate issue before ''ComicBook/{{Onslaught}}'' features the titular villain in silhouette. The regular version of the cover features with the words "The Secret Revealed" in the silhouette. A special holograph cover, however, doesn't have those words in the silhouette -- but instead as a shadowy version of Professor Xavier's face instead, revealing the X-Men's mentor is the oncoming threat.

* Another ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' example is the novel ''Renegades: Harrowmaster'', about an Alpha Legion warband. Throughout the novel the protagonist Solomon Akurra is on the hunt for a mysterious item, the nature of which is not revealed until the very end of the book when he's recovered it. Except for the fact that the cover prominently depicts Solomon wielding the Pale Spear, weapon of the Alpha Legion Primarch Alpharius.

* ''Manga/GirlsLastTour'' is particularly bad at hiding spoilers in its cover arts:
** The title art of Chapter 30/31/32 shows Chito and Yuuri looking at the holograms of images of the past, but the images of three girls on the lower right is a spoiler detail. It doesn't bother hiding that the said image spoils the major plot point of this chapter where Chito and Yuuri uncovers the past from Kanazawa's camera.
** Volume 6's cover, the final tankoubon, spoils the TwistEnding where the main protagonists reach the highest layer which happens at the finale. The "Twist Ending" is heavily emphasised as the black sky and the barren, snowy and featureless land, as well as a shot of the black cube in the volume's table of contents all blatantly tell how their journey at the end is AllForNothing, completely defeating the purpose of the manga's surprise ending. ''[[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt Way to go when the entire cover art spoils the manga's]]'' ''ShaggyDogStory'' ''[[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt ending]]!''
** Chapter 44's title cover is even worse that it's so obvious on what is going to happen in this chapter. The cover depicts the Kettenkrad breaking down, which happens during the middle of the chapter, easily spoiling the WhamEpisode of the entire manga. It also has a ''very meaningful'' SpoilerTitle as well, which is aptly titled Loss.
** Chapter 45's title cover shows a rotating stair, as well as with Chito and Yuuri holding hands together. It spoils the plot point of Chito and Yuuri ascending to the highest layer.
* The cover of the fourth and final tankobon of ''Manga/IWantYourMotherToBeWithMe'' shows Yuzuki in a wedding dress with a smiling Ryo and Asahi.

*** Chapter 47 is also bad at this when the title cover shows Shijima on a lone planet with just herself and a single house. The plot point of Shijima becoming TheHermit after the reversal is already spoiled.
* The fourth volume of ''Manga/YuriIsMyJob'' shows Kanoko and Sumika on the cover, both wearing the kreusz on their Liebe uniforms, apparently signifying that they have become schwestern.
