Jessie Comments: The marks to the left of the floating cat head are my fault – they’re scratches from when i was ripping off the $1 used book price tag.
Published 1978
I think the scratches are the least of this covers problems!
Many thanks to Jessie!

It’s a human with a cat head and a tail! (This is called a ‘cat’ by many artists who have never seen any nonhuman mammals before.)

Cat people! Fantastic.
At least the man is wearing a loincloth. The cat women is just walking around that place in the buff. Maybe the guy is saying:
“Hey, show them your money makers and maybe they’ll stop and give us a lift.”

I think one of the best parts is that the recommendation is from the author of THE FEMALE MAN. There’s no way that could have been a good cover, either…

I’ve got nothing. This is fully awesome. It may be Frank Frazetta.

‘unusually ingenious scenery’ …hark, the sound of barrel bottoms being scraped.
Really, it is good! There are some great trees in it!

I reckon it’s Boris Val-Jell-o.

Seems to be Boris Vallejo, actually. Awesome!

Looks like that was the ole Vallejo! Nice spot!

I came across your website courtesy of Andrew Sullivan’s Daily Dish. While I am not a sci-fi fan, I am a connoiseur of mondo bizarro, and your site always brightens my day!
Seeing today’s cover immediately reminded me of Omaha the Cat Dancer. I thought all the good sirs and madams would be interested.

Imagine the size and odour of the cat-deity’s litterbox…

Must not… ogle… catwoman’s bottom…

By Sky-Cat’s command!

Behold!

…with the surname Felice? Now, that’s just a little too apropos.

I don’t quite see the ‘man’ bit of the title there. Perhaps ‘The Slightly More Female Female’?

When she coughs up her hairball, I wonder if it is composed of the pubes of that guy.

This must have been a difficult one for Boris – the tail made the usual chainmail panties impossible…
And the cat-deity must have had some BAD tuna. Distinctly green about the gills.
(And a note to our friendly tag writer: despite the SciFi topic, the publisher’s actually POCKET Books.)

@Don Hillard – Good spot! My excuse is that it was tagged before my morning coffee! And the crease kinda covers the P

“Purr-doz has spoken!”

I stand corrected! I believe Boris more than Frank. Dang my backwater art schoolin’
