Tom Noir Comments: America’s Explosive Tomorrow – Where men are men! Except when those men are also cars. And sometimes the car men cover their crotches with hubcaps, cause that’s what car men like, OKAY? What are YOU looking at, buster?? Does this cheese grater belt make by hips look big? Dammit.

Ken R. Comments: This beauty is from 1945, Duchess Publishing, Canada. It is infamous for it’s ugliness as well as crediting the editor, John W. Campbell, as the author. Ray Cummings sued to have it removed from the shelves, thus it’s scarcity.

You might remember this from here.

Look the calendar. It’s 2021. I tried flipping the page to 2022 but that didn’t work. So instead of looking forward let’s look backward and reflect on our past glory.

On to the honours. Based on ratings, the recent “Swedish Megapost” is on top. But it is our judgement that it will need to stand the test of time longer than two weeks to claim top honours. Also some little prick in Paraguay has been screwing around with our stellar vote rating system. Somehow our election fraud complaints has drawn terrifying responses online. Therefore, the highest rated cover of 2020 is:

And we were finally able to reach Tweet Jane, who has been away on a lengthy … let’s call it a sabbatical. My favourite cover is The Beasts of Tarzan. For no other reason than I feel just like the lion looks.

Good Show Sir Comments: This year sucked and Christmas 2020 is a grinch-fest. So let’s go back to a simpler, happier time when you could page through magazines (remember them?!) shopping for wildly inappropriate Xmas presents.

Presenting the Good Show Sir Megapost Cavalcade of Poor Christmas Shopping Choices!

1. This isn’t helping Santa’s chimney soot black lung

2. When Santa visits Miss Microsheen, it’s shiny boots and no red suit.

3. Give your wife a vacuum cleaner for Xmas and the Hoover will be the only one sucking your dick

4. The first rule about Booze Club is you don’t talk about Booze Club.

Have a happy holiday and we’ll see you in a couple weeks with our Olde Year Summe Up!

Now let’s all sit back and enjoy the He Man & She-Ra Christmas Special!

Who doesn’t love Swedish sci-fi covers?! Recall the fun we all had with Skeppsbruten på Tschai last year. We recently stumbled upon the delightful WordPress blog “enlitenbloggomrymden” (“small blog space”) which has a wealth of terrible covers from the publisher Lindqvist. These were published from 1969-1971 and I’ve included a few of our favourites below. Have at them and enjoy!

Och stjärnornas konungar dö

Vindarnas Planet

Främmande Rymdskepp

Slutstriden

Good Show Sir Comments:

1. Swedish dominatrix says “your safe word is Ochstjärnornaskonungardö”

2. Flavour-sealed for freshness

3. Busted by the fashion police

4. Sluts-a-ridin’
