Laura’s Art Direction: I want stars and planets! And… given the topic, there needs to be a christmas tree. No.. subtler. Just a single unadorned tree… maybe on some kind of moonscape? And we need the human element. Slap a brooding David Bowie up there. It’s missing something? Well give the title a science fiction font, and we should be good.
Published 1977
It’s almost Christmas!
Many thanks to Laura!

It’s no good trying to hide behind that tree, Mr Bowie, we can still see you. And take that stupid monocle off.

It’s a monocle? What a relief! I feared his eye was coming out of its socket…

If the 90s had been allowed to go on, hideous goatees like that one would’ve been all over the place!

i thought it was a moonocle. Ha? sorry…Wonder who “ASTAR” is, why we’re following her? Finally, those tree shaped holiday straws didn’t catch on. so sad.

- We worship “Astar”, goddess of staring at the moon, every winter solstice in Sweden.
- ‘Tis the season to be somber.

You better not run
You better not hide
Because the breadth of his mind
Is deeper than wide
SPACE CLAUS IS COMING
AND HIS EYES CAN SEE INTO THE ABYSS

Why is the Milky Way running through his ears?
The font doesn’t bother me as much as does the lack of kerning. The O looks like it’s just missing the L but touching the W in an inappropriate fashion.

Looks like the cover for something like: “Patrick Moore eats a Douglas Fir.”

Original title: I Have No Mouth But I Must Do My Hair Like A 1970s Glam Rocker.

Wasn’t the Astar Galactic Command those jokers who hijacked an ITV signal back in the seventies? Now they have their own book! And followers!

Just like Brenope (#4), I wondered who Astar is. Fortunately, Wikipedia told me.
The BFG is just about to sneeze by the looks of things. It’s just mean, tickling people’s noses with firs.
