Like the great aurora borealis, the eternity brigade neon sign sweeps the sky.Click for full image

Lauren Comments: The colors on this are just so awful. And spike heels? But at least she’s not in a fur bikini. Although he appears to be having some wardrobe malfunction with his shirt.

At least he doesn’t have a mullet!
Thanks to Lauren!

    I think this book is completely fine! EXCEPT for one thing, what’s going on with the text at the top?

  2. Parker Says:

    Yea and that one thing is actually pretty darn huge!

    No wonder they look scared, they’re being attacked by a glowing neon sign.

    The girl appears to be sticking her bum out for no good reason, and I can’t imagine those shoes are practical, and I’m not sure if he’s sitting awkwardly with an injured leg or doing some kind of balletic leap, but the overall effect of the artwork I rather like. Only the neon Pearl and Dean text ruins proceedings, as both of the characters seem to be acknowledging too.

    He’s looking at the ‘R’ in ‘BRIGADE’. He’s cross. He’s thinking: ‘that’s not an R! That’s just a sort of squiggle!’

    Her: “Your leg is really hurt, o brave soldier. Let me clutch it like this.”

    Him: “AAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGNNNNNNNNNHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”

    There seems to be some greek columns in the background. Yet the one they are leaning against seems to have something like Sumerian. I’m maybe picking too much with that one. I mean it does mention travel. Sort of…

    In fact… my eyes really want to read the the tag line from left to right. And not so much a line as a paragraph.

    “Holy crap, what’s with that font?”

    “I know! It’s like we’re trapped in an 80s video effect!”

    “Kiss me.”

  8. James Lovegrove Says:

    @SI: He no longer to do battle wanted to on any be like the world. In any others — galaxy. Frozen in in any time, ready century…

    It’s, like, beat poetry. Translated from the French by Babelfish. The meaningfulness!

  9. CSA Says:

    She looks like Amy Winehouse. I would not let her touch me, even if i didn’t have a bleeding gash in my leg. Thats a guaranteed infection right there.

    He’s even turning his head away from her, “uuughhh, you smell like vomit”

    What’s with the guy’s weird, too large lower limbs?

  11. hampshireflyer Says:

    Presumably she has to go around on her knees because the moment she stands up her spike heels will get her irretrievably stuck in the red sand.

  12. Phil Says:

    I’m puzzled by the large chef’s hat in the background.

  13. Tom Noir Says:

    I really don’t find this too hideous except for the ridiculous blurb text crammed in above the (neon!) title. My theory is that someone thought it would look like the scroll text from Star Wars.

    It doesn’t.

    Anyway, haven’t these people ever heard of the back cover? That’s where the plot summary traditionally goes.

  14. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    “Was…that…thing…there a minute ago?”

    “Well, if you didn’t keep hitting your head against the cement pillar, you wouldn’t keep forgetting, would you now?”
