    I bet he’s thinking “Wish that b*tch would go away, so I can watch those men in loincloths and go back to w*nking.”

  2. A.R.Yngve Says:

    “57 channels, and nothing’s on…”

  3. A.R.Yngve Says:

    “Coming tonight on Bravo Midnight Classics: The Leather-Clad Centurion… Sandals and Loincloths… Sweaty Gladiators… and Big Shiny Spears.

  4. THX 1138 Says:

    Pah, whatever happened to the real men like Steve Reeves?

  5. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    Perhaps he’s looking for his briefs! Bah-dum-psht.

  6. Doug Says:

    I love it when men fight with swords of fire…..or maybe it is the schwartz!

  7. Christal Says:

    OMG that looks like Han Solo in is dungarees with his latest space floozy, and they have hijacked the enterprise and are watching Spartacus on the viewscreen!

  8. Adam Roberts Says:

    For one horrified moment I thought the title was Gladiator In-Laws, and that the lady on the cover was looking aghast at her new husband’s family. Thank heavens it’s only Gladiator At Law!

  9. Phil Says:

    I’ve counted, and it’s mathematically and anatomically correct – but she looks as if she has too many fingers.

  10. Green Says:

    I perused this very edition at my local used bookstore just recently. The plot’s just as cheesy as the cover. :D

  11. NGpm Says:

    Well, I may not be a fancy pants city gladiator, but there is one thing of which I am sure … just as sure as my gladius will kill a witness, my client is innocent.

    If the glaive does not fit, you must acquit.

  12. Tom Noir Says:

    “Mommy, what is that gladiator doing to that other gladiator?”

  13. Dalton H. Says:

    And yet here we have another example of the early light saber, this one pre-The Drawing of the Dark and involving less clothing.

  14. Kate Shaw Says:

    Those people have huge hands! Seriously, chest-wound dude looks like he swapped hands with a gorilla. Even the woman’s hand is enormous. Has anyone read the book? Is it a plot point that the characters have hands the size of catcher mitts?

  15. Phil Says:

    Call me slooowww, but I’ve only just realised that the two guys in the background are carrying olympic torches. Or, more precisely, the one on the left is holding an olympic torch with an amazing, gravity defying, slanted flame; while the one on the right is somehow balancing his on his index finger. No wonder everyone on this cover looks confused.

  16. A.R.Yngve Says:

    “Honey, the Middle East is in flames and there’s talk of revolution over here…”

    “Not now, woman! Can’t you see I’m watching the game??”

  17. SI Says:

    Is that a young Jeff Goldbum?

  18. SI Says:

    Wait I meant Goldblum!!! ….. or did I …

  19. Don Hilliard Says:

    It’s Barbie with Kung-Fu Grip!

  20. A.R.Yngve Says:

    What “24″ fans really crave. (And they’ll get it… in the future!)

  21. GK Says:

    Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?

  22. Neville Says:

    And what, exactly, is he DOING with his oversized left claw? Opening peanut butter? Peeling paint chips? Killing a car hood with the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique?

  23. JuanPaul Says:

    If you squint your eyes it looks like those gladiators aren’t fighting.

  24. David Cowie Says:

    @ JuanPaul: The damsel may have worked that one out already.

    Is anyone else curious about the book in the background marked FIRST TIME IN PRINT?
