Thanks! That tie looks so nice on Lewis!

Good to see C.S. being put to good use, and I congratulate you on the tie illusion. Genius!
“What he sought lay beyond human reach – but there were others ready to help him…” It doesn’t look THAT far out of reach; he just needs to step forward a little. And is a horse really going to be much help?
There’s almost a TING! going on there. Almost.
An OVERTURE by David Gerrold? Who knew he wrote musical scores as well as tribble scripts?
Tag correction: it’s Diane DUANE (not duNane).

You can see right up groping hunk’s frock.
Surely, in the name of humanity, that should also be Lewis’d?

That font used to be on a candy wrapper. Until it rethought its life and put all that behind it.

@Smith: Is that a hunk with a foreshortening problem, or is that Malcolm Dixon with pectorals?
What kind of a name is THC DOOP, INTD ARL anyway?

The fellow in the lower right is a dead ringer for porn star Evan Stone.

The suggestive placement of the sword. The ominous and euphemistic name “The Door Into Fire.” This is clearly a safe sex cautionary tale aimed at the male fantasy crowd. The protagonist striving, reaching for the seemingly unattainable — unaware of associated risks. And can there be any doubt the flaming horse represents venereal disease?

To me (ever since I SING THE BODY ELECTRIC), a horse is just a centaur with a horse’s head.

Thanks for saying all the things I’ve thought myself, and more.

How many fantasy covers has that Cosmic Cape appeared in?

@Dead Stuff: Malcolm Dixon? Crikey that is obscure! I’d have gone with Kenny Baker or Warwick Davis but Malcolm Dixon is just ubergeeky! Good Show, Sir!

This is another one of those really-good-books-with-a-really-atrocious-cover.
I think it was her first novel. It was nominated twice for a Campbell Award for best new writer of SF (I think I had better throw in some disclosure and say that makes me fond of it because the same thing happened to my husband’s first novel).

Ridley Scott later stole this idea for his original Alien movie!
In an effort to avoid copyright infringment, he replaced the disembodied head of Patrick Stewart bursting forth from naked blue chick with a baby xenomorph and Siegfriend and his flaming horse with a space crew.
