Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Comments: I want to take the art director, grab him firmly by the shoulders, shake him like salad dressing and shout into his face, ‘TOO HARD! TOO BLOODY HARD! YOU ARE TRYING TOO BLOODY HARD!’ But that’s not allowed, is it?

After Nurse Terra steals your heart, Loonie and Zucchinihead will be harvesting the rest of your internal organs.

That’s no nurses outfit I’ve ever seen. I think she might actually be a patient who stole a hat. Wait, is this the mental ward? Are those orderlies? Get off me! I DON’T WANT TO TAKE THE MEDS!!!!

This is the next top-down reorganisation of the NHS. Hell yeah.

The accidents in this new series of Casualty are just too ridiculous for words.

She’s hot looking. Unnaturally hot. She is positively glowing. Glowing like Godzilla going into nuclear melt down.
Well I’m not uptight
Not unattractive
Turn me on tonight
Cause I’m radioactive

I’m more intrigued by the blurb’s claim: what is an ‘Earth Song Triad’? Chinese gangsters who yell “What about the elephants?” Maybe it’s a counterpart to the Torch Song Trilogy. Will Alex Kingston be along to say “Hello sweetie”?

Isn’t it about time we had a “Space Careers” tag?

Well, she’s a nurse; gorilla face (with lab coat and clipboard) is clearly another medical type – perhaps a doctor – but I’m baffled by the cucumber hatted guy on the left: maybe he’s some kind of consultant?

Artist: “It’s a science fiction book? Oh, well in that case I’ll just stick a guy from Planet of the Apes on here…and then we’ll put Ming the Merciless over here…And there you go! Doesn’t that just scream sci-fi to you?”

I feel the clammy hands of Luis Royo ALL OVER this cover…

“Tonight on ER 3000: Dr. Golgox knows how Nurse Terra feels for him, but is he able to love a woman with only two arms? And who is the mysterious blue patient in the burn ward?”

This is what the hospital looks like AFTER you’ve inhaled the laughing gas from my mask….

Coincidence? I think NOT!

Nice to know that in the future they’ll still have spring-loaded clipboards and paper forms. The gorilla has learned, it seems, to grin and bear it.
@B’Mancer 2: I think Zucchinihead is a Phrygian.

@B. Chiclitz – A Phrygian you say? More like a friggin’ jamoke.
That’s my Parthian shot!

Dunno about Zucchinihead, but I’m pretty sure hot nurse & ape-faced-boy are the same cosplayers seen on the cover of ‘Return From the Stars’ by Stanislaw Lem.
