Frank McConnell Comments: “Modern weapons.” Would that be the crossbow, or the dish on his left?
Published 1970

Actually, that cover IS a classical work of art!I would touch it without protective gloves.I've seen worse. Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning! Feels so good!Good Show Sir! (Average: 7.50 out of 10)

    ‘Excuse me, good sir, dear lady, but have you accepted Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour? Could I interest you a copy of THE WATCHTOWER?’

  2. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    She’s wearing metal hands on her teats.

  3. Bibliomancer Says:

    Mrs Godman has the widest thighs I have ever seen on a cover damsel.

  4. JuanPaul Says:

    This is a cover of misapplied nouns, verbs and adjectives: hidden? terrors? modern? loved?

  5. Ikari Gendo Says:

    The exclamation point, which might deserve a tag, makes this title either an interjection or a noun of exclamatory direct address.

    Did you catch a whiff of that lizard’s breath? Godman! It stinks!

    or

    Godman! Great to see you! How long has it been since we were stuck in that cage together in the pet store? I see the woman who bought you couldn’t afford clothes.

    “It’s OK, luv, there’s no such thing as dinosaurs.”

  7. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    @THX: Is that an oblique Beany and Cecil joke?

    Cat’s eyes. Differentiated mammalian teeth. Long waggling tongue. I think that’s the cat from The Simpsons.

    Wot no Aurora model kits tag ? I’m sure i have got this one in the attic .

  9. Tat Wood Says:

    Does Godman! have a strong opinion on Kansas?

  10. THX 1138 Says:

    @DSWBT: No, it’s a Creationist joke. They’re well known for their sense of humour.

  11. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    @Tat, THX: well, there you go, then! 😉

    That crossbow seems to be a bit lacking in the trigger department. Clearly, it’s not the modern weapon promised in the blurb.

  12. fred Says:

    If he wrote porn on the side, which it looks like he didn’t, I would swear this cover looks more than a little twincesty.

  13. Anna T. Says:

    Why is the damsel wearing a sleeping mask? Are her eyes extremely sensitive to light? Does she have uncontrollable eye beams? This is a mystery that must be solved.

  14. Ray P Says:

    The artist seemed to like nineteen-sixties big hair on the ladies. And I concur on the big thighs – almost Modigliani “Nu couche”.

    It has a Carry on Cleo look to it.

  15. Tom Noir Says:

    I presume that the expansion point means this is a musical.

  16. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    It seems that the ‘modern weapon’ is…a lens.

    There’s a certain pathos you feel in reading that Wikipaedia article, isn’t there?

  17. Ray P Says:

    His left hand looks like Plasticine or linked sausages.

    I feel pathos looking at everything posted here.

  18. JaunPaul Says:

    With medieval weapons Christopher Reeve raised a warning fist towards the nuisances of a mustard universe of lizards and Southern states—to score with the belly dancer he just met!

  19. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    @JaunPaul: are you the same person as JuanPaul? And if so, is the confusion a data entry problem? Or could it be that JaunPaul and JuanPaul are the good and evil sides of the same entity?

  20. lctwice Says:

    Don’t really see that Joanne Worley Charlton Heston romance working out.

  21. JuanPaul Says:

    @Dead Stuff, yes one and the same, thanks for spotting that. Clearly no future for me in data entry.

  22. B. Chiclitz Says:

    This is a still from the pilot episode of It’s About Time. Sonny and Cher were originally cast as Gronk and Shadd. It didn’t work out, and their careers took a (slightly) different path.

  23. A.R.Yngve Says:

    So is this the novelization of Ruben Bolling’s hilarious comic-strip GOD-MAN? I think its original comedy got lost in the transition.

  24. Tat Wood Says:

    And in Anglocentric Humour, is his name Chester?

  25. GSS ex-noob Says:

    @Tat: I’d think “Chester” would be a better name for her. Those teat shields ain’t hiding much.

  26. fred Says:

    John Bloodstone is really S. J. Byrne.
