Click for full imageI’ll admit the only idea I could come up with is a women with laser gun cowers backwards with her chimpanzee colleague, who, I might add, should be in a tight leather body suit. Also, throw a huge red horned daemon bull creature in as he hurls himself at them with a loincloth… sorry I mean spear… ah what the hell why not both!?

Ah this is my favourite scene in the book. It looks like Mr Chimp is trying to distract the minotaur by practicing some Shakespeare lines, but no, he’s actaully reaching for some cleverly concealed fecal matter (its in natures pocket) to launch into the minitaurs face.
Our heroine, having done this hundreds of times is just sitting there pretending to not notice anything, just calmly waits, putting on her best “sad clown” face. Last second, she ducks. Minitaur gets a chocolate rock in his face, lands, then realises his fatally genetic flaw… Darwin decided he was allowed hands but not feet. His freakishly deformed tiny hooves and massive upper body offer him no centre of balance and so our heroine bravely goes to town on the blinded and disabled minitaur.
Its actually mostly a comedy. The minitaur race are a really a clumsy Jamacian racial stereotype, which has become the really cool thing to do since George Lucas brought racism back into the mainstream.
In my opinion the artist captured the moment better than a kodac

It looks like the red jumping bull-man is about to have a rather embarrasing crotch meets sticky out bit of rock incident. Perhaps the monkey man is flinging his arm out in a warning while the girl is looking less then impressed by his athletic leaping display.
I must say I particularly like the title font here with a joyous rainbow of colours and outlining. You can never have too many outlines, that what I say!

Haha Yea a crotch shot is definitely incoming there.
While looking at the gloriously outlined title did I just notice something I completely missed first off. Floating islands?

Another cover where nobody can manage to point their weapons at each other. Looks like it’s going to be a long fight scene… sigh.
