Ee, it were ‘ard life in t’Bee Gees when us started. ‘Appen we only ‘ad one neck’chain between t’three of us. Wor dad’d dress up in ‘is V-fer-vendetta mask, like, an’ whip us to get to t’high notes.
@Tat Wood—re: Appen we only ‘ad one neck’chain between t’three of us.
In fact, Genius Joe there on the right side seems to have no chain around his neck. He’s free to escape at any moment. Why don’t he run? Is it brotherly loyalty?
So anyway, I get being critical of covers, but good design is relative and book covers should reflect the period they came out of. Getting all design-snobby on pulp fiction? I don t get it. Is it melodramatic and busy? Yeah. That s kind of the point.
@Ted Lamattina – I don’t think you get it exactly. Read the “About” page above. This isn’t an art critique site. It’s about having fun with the Sci-Fi and Fantasy we discover and share with each other.
@Ted Lamattina—it’s also about, in fact, throwing a few jibes at “the period [s] they came out of,” by deconstructing the covers that came out of them, but mostly just the mindless fun.

If the ninja thinks he can make these three Neanderthals into his effectively-trained minions, he’s got a lot of work to do.

Not much of a jungle, is it? More like a savanna with one dead tree.
