Space hover boards are so... phallic!Click for full image

Courtney’s Art Direction: Think Conan, but switch the genders. And make the hero basically Farrah Fawcett. And make her leg clinger, I dunno, a Pak Protector maybe? No of course I don’t know anything about the plot.
Published 1978

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: 6.53 out of 10)

    Is Captain Beaky saying “You know, I can’t help thinking we might have misinterpreted the scale on the blueprints for this ship.”

    “Look indifferent if you wanna go faster!”

    Someone here is missing a limb. I think it’s the lady. Advice to illustrators: in order to avoid embarrassment, always count the limbs before handing in your work.

    Is it just a trick of perspective, or are her radius and ulna being sucked in to the gravity well of yon planet off the starboard stern?

    And where’s her left lower leg? I can somewhat follow her thigh across Talon Fighter’s leg, but after that everything disappears.

  5. Smith Says:

    @Dead Stuff: I can only assume she’s resting her left foot on Captain Beaky’s nether regions. Which explains the look on his face.

    Either that, or this is some kind of interstellar ventriloquism act.

    They really shouldn’t have choosen the hawkman to be the next James bond.

    ‘Battle Code for Cosmic Conflict!’ is very disappointing. What was wrong with ‘Combat Code for Cosmic Conflict!’?

    Pak don’t wear earrings.

    When beaky there asked “Hey baby wanna come ride on my spaceship?” Farrah didn’t know he really meant ON the spaceship!

    I seriously want to see that cover behind this book… It’s looking at me…

    I’d never imagined Rydra Wong as a Bond girl.

    You and me neither, Jaouad.

    So which of them is meant to be Babe L-17?
