L. Ron Hubbard… Just no. He’s awful. The name ‘Disaster’ truly suits doesn’t it?

Look out, it’s a Duran Duran video!

What was 80s Man doing to this contraption BEFORE it and he plummetted to a deserved doom? He’s dressed for a date (probably with someone wearing aircraft-carrier shoulder-pads and absurd hair) so is this the shocking truth about cyber-sex?
Or was he just playing Twister on the Batmobile?

Typography overload! Not only are the H and D used as cheeks to hold in L.RON UBBAR, but every piece of text is in a different font. Even the 8 is in some kind of sniper’s gunsight.
I think the word “disaster” at the bottom is an editor’s note to the art department; it was supposed to be removed before this went to press.

Or, to squeeze a second awful observation out of the author’s name:
L.RON UBBAR – now in HD!
Thank you, I’m here all week.

@Phil: Actually ‘Disaster’ was the one word summation of the story and style left in a cryptic note by an editor who then proceeded to vanish without a trace. He was last seen getting into a black van with Isaac Hayes, Kirstie Alley and John Travolta.
Really, no matter how weird or bad the cover, it still is far better than the story it hides.

Is Blondie supposed to be falling down those skyscrapers? There is no sense of movement. He looks like Wile E. Coyote pausing before he falls off a broken piece of cliff.

80s man with 80s font. Nice!

@Phil, that one made me giggle

“Well this is certainly a disaster….Which one of these is the phone!”

Is he falling between two skyscrapers, or flying over a valley?

If Michael Bay remade one of John Hughes’ 80′s teen movies it would probably
look exactly like this. Looks like he is headed out to pick up Molly Ringwald to take her to the prom.

‘Somebody tackle that rowing machine before it gets away!’

The first experiment; Disaster!
The Second Experiment: Much better, thank you!

The letters have not been made that can contain L. Ron ubbard.
