The covers of "The Nancy Drew Files" and "Girl Detective" series represent further departures from the bold, confident character portrayed by Tandy. The Nancy portrayed on the covers of "The Nancy Drew Files" is "a markedly sexy Nancy, with a handsome young man always lurking in the background. Her clothes often reveal an ample bustline and her expression is mischievous." In the "Girl Detective" series, Nancy's face is depicted on each cover in fragments. Her eyes, for example, are confined to a strip across the top of the cover while her mouth is located near the spine in a box independent of her eyes. The artwork for Nancy's eyes and mouth is taken from Rudy Nappi's cover art for the revised version of "The Secret of the Old Clock".
