I particularly like the way the Methuen logo looks like its actually on the collar of his Super-Suit.

I hadn’t noticed this before, but the golden chappy is actually standing in front of the cover art. Either that, or he’s standing next to a window through which we can see a spaceship with PHILIP K DICK THE GOLDEN MAN written on it.

I really want to make a joke involving this cover and Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Lt. Com. Data, plus his brothers Lore and B4 – since they’re all gold as well. But I can’t. I just can’t seem to put it right in my head.
Maybe someone wittier than I can do it.
