Click for full imageTom Noir’s Art Direction: Okay, this is a Celtic fantasy, so obviously we want a buff surfer dude who is spaced out of his gourd. What? I dunno, put him in a kilt or something. You figure it out, that’s what you’re paid for isn’t it? Anyhow, magic it up. Slap a shiny silver border on with the author’s name in a clashing red font to distract suspicious readers. Anyhoo, I gotta jet, it’s 4:20.
Published 1993
Many thanks to Tom!

Your BO has to be pretty damn immense if it’s visible and forms the shape of a sleeping old man

Took me a while to figure out what the book title was and what the name of the series was. I got it wrong first time.
Imagine going to a ceilidh dressed like that… you would be legendary!

Oh… And possibly… thrown out…

Ah, I notice this guy has a pullet (perm-mullet). He must use some pretty awesome hair product to keep his manly curls in that sauna. On another note, don’t you hate when you go the sauna and all they have for a towel is a kilt and there is a creepy old guy in there trying to look up it?

Here is the other pullet I was thinking of; these guys must use the same stylist.

I assume that editors try to make heroic images which the readers, the target audience, want to identify with.
So the target audience in this case may be:
A) Unemployed 80s rock bands;
B) Stoners.
C) Ice hockey players

Wow these Lawhead books! I know know who they might me marketed to… (Grrrrrrowl!)

so he trades his kilt for a silver hand? whom among us would not choose the same

@Kathleen: Let he who is without kilt cast the first stone!

He’s sprung a leak and is starting to deflate!

Centaurs with mini-centaur hands are underrepresented in this cover. Does Mark Wahlberg know his image has been used?

The torporous expression and the light sheen of sweat on kilt-boy might suggest the answer to the classic question, “Do you smoke after sex?”
MIGHT. Were it not for the slumbering old geezer in the corner. That way lies madness.

“Doctor, you gotta help me! My chest leaks! It looks a bit like water and it contains this old geezer! Passed-out from drinking!”
“How could you possibly know that?”
“He has a red nose!”
“Tell you what, lay off the wacky tobaccy for a week and let’s see if the problem persists.”
