Eighties cartoons are just fantastic, aren’t they. Wait a second… What if we go for that eighties look? Muscle bond guy wearing strange straps which have no benefit and gold bracelets. Holding aloft his magic glowing sceptre. No one is going to forget this cover anytime soon!

Actually, that cover is a visual feast!I would pick that one up.Neaaa, I\'ve seen worse.Interesting, but I would still take it on a train.It is somewhere in between the awful/good scale.Would not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just Awful...I swear, that\\\'s my flatmates!Gah... my eyes! They are burning!Good Show Sir.... Good Show! (Rating: 8.07 out of 10)

    This is actually the magazine New Statesman before it was rebranded.

    I started trying to count how many straps that geezer is wearing, but I had to give up.

  2. Simon Says:

    I think he’s hoping the straps will distract attention from the purple and pink tights. He wrong.

  3. SI Says:

    Good spot on the purple tights!

    He also seems to be carrying two pretty large ‘personal’ computers. Combat could never be easy carrying those around.

    The gayest hero in the galaxy! First he will defeat evil alien beings bent on conquest. Then he’s going clubbing. Old Compton Street, look out.

    Synopsis: What if He-Man was bald and had an eye patch

    you can even see Skeletor there.

    ‘Hope Hubris’. Ah, it’s a fine line between ‘hope’ and ‘hubris’, is it not. And also between ‘good cover’ and ‘terrible terrible crappy cover.’

  7. SI Says:

    He fights hard and plays hard.

  8. SI Says:

    D’oh. James beat me to it.

  9. Liberace Says:

    Jeesh, Statesman, take it down a notch.
