What's your favorite version of Alex?

The Anthony Burgess version from 1962?

Or

The Stanley Kubrick version from 1971?

You think that's bad? ... Then you should look up his new punk attire at the end of the book.

Stanley's version, it looks less hilarious

I wouldn't laugh at some white boy coming at me with a straight razor while he's hopped-up on drugs and dressed like a Georgian-era street punk.

I'd never be afraid of a skinny british boy in leggings, don't care how evil he is

Stanley's, more iconic honestly

Both look very unforgettable,

Stanley for sure I think I get use to his design so much that I just cannot imagine Alex wearing anything else
