Piccol78′s Art Direction: So there’s Rama in the title than you got to play it mystical; no wait; better! Indian stuff goes well with Psychedelia so make it more Grateful Death, a bit hypnotic  but with monsters and some Random Escher stuff. Uh, Uh! Don’t forget to put in a Flying Vagina!
Published 1973 (maybe)

Actually, that cover is a visual feast!I would pick that one up.Neeaaa, I've seen worse.Interesting, but I would still take it on a train.It's somewhere between the awful/good scale.Would not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...I swear, thats my flatmates!Gah... my eyes! They are burning!Good Show Sir.... Good Show! (Average: 4.55 out of 10)

    Oh, how I miss Irwin Allen’s THE TIME TUNNEL (http://sharetv.org/images/the_time_tunnel-show.jpg)

    And Alexei Sayle’s DRUNK IN TIME, for that matter (https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTCrrxtza7bdBr8-Bmzyk5LGtdJUdKHu3HnQIXAtW0tXGetPzz6)

    Why does the Italian RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA have an appendix featuring B.C.?

  3. THX 1138 Says:

    The Wizard of Id, too! I think this book cover needs retuning.

    TECHNICALLY

    Rendezvous with Rama DOES involve exploring the inside a of a huge, cylindrical ship with strange structures on the inside and robot bugs. I don’t remember a squiggly things or space vaginas, though.

    @Phil:
    URANIA is a long–running Italian science-fiction magazine which publishes complete novels. Of course, no magazine is complete without episodes of B.C. and The Wizard of Id…

  6. Jaouad Says:

    Also, I wonder if the art is by Karel Thole, who did great work in those days, much of it for Urania. If so, this is decidedly not one of his most inspired.

    Ha! The first thing I thought of when I looked at it was “that looks like girly parts.” How nice that I am not the only one who noticed…I was afraid there might be something wrong with me! :)

    Apparently the editors were into Ironic Juxtaposition.
