Jen comments: I was going to talk about his lack of spacesuit, or his overabundance of cleavage, or the protruding rock in space.  Then I noticed that one of the strange ghost-images was smoking a cigar, and all words failed me.

Thanks to Jen! Good Find!

    Holy crap. Its Weird al Yankovic.

    For some reason i can’t stop looking at the way he is holding the gun… im not sure the thing even has a handle

  2. SI Says:

    The cape… why does he have a cape?

  3. CSA Says:

    real men wear capes…. and leather trousers

    @ CSA – I can only guess it’s meant to fire backwards…

  5. SI Says:

    He is crusing through space on an ole piece of stone. That is pretty awesome. Though the perm… and everything else, not so awesome.

    That’s a deeply mystifying cover, though. I mean, orcs, sure, cigar-smokers, sure… but the thing in front looks halfway between a mammoth and a boar. Why the hell is it there?

    I’m fairly sure that’s not a gun, either. It looks like a piece of the rock. Why he’s holding it I have no idea. Keeping his balance? I mean, if he falls, even if he doesn’t get impaled on those tusks, it’s a long way down…

    For my money, ‘no reader will put this book down willingly’ is easily the most alarmingly intimidating cover blurb I’ve ever read.

    Weird Al? Looks more like David Hasselhoff to me.

    The FULL quote:

    “I am standing in my local bookstore, watching a desperate PR stunt. The sign reads: ‘Put your copy of EARTHBLOOD down here and shop for 20 dollars or more — then take EARTHBLOOD with you for FREE!’ No reader will put this book down willingly.”
