Russian Roulette with an eagle? Seeing as how a bird can’t fire a gun, I think man has painted himself into a corner.

The hero’s job, dejectedly earthbound after a decade in synchronous orbit, is to locate the last bald eagles (the national bird of America), if any still exist.
You know of those shopworn jokes about a bird mistaking a baseball ball for an egg and brooding it, and then the ball hatches into a ghastly bird-ball hybrid? That’s what the stitching on the bird’s head makes me recall.

Did you say most vicious bird? YouTube search ‘turkey attack’ and you will understand what true feathered viciousness really is.

The perfect cover for Trump’s next book.

@Francis Boyle: Reminds me of this.

Is that Yog-Sothoth in the upper background? Gaol doesn’t seem to be an effective deterrent to Lovecraftian horrors.

How does an eagle hold a revolver, let alone fire it?

Is that a zombie eagle???
I mean, I’m totally down with that if it is.

Man in PATRIOTIC!! surgical mask, wearing a stitched eagle hat, in front of smoke-belching smokestacks.
This is a perfect description of the current state of the United States, and hence why I’m glad I don’t live there. The artist must’ve been psychic.
Incidentally, bald eagles are not especially vicious except around radioactive oranges, just so you know.

Does he keep on fighting for true peace and the future of the children?
July 4th, 2017 at 7:05 pm
…or does he fight against a wonder planet?

Hard to comment on this. So upset about what’s happening in my country.

A patriotic man is wearing a Frankeneagle hat.
Anyone who thinks the bald eagle is the most vicious bird has never had to defend their lunch from a goose.
The US playing Russian roulette… how oddly, sadly appropriate for the last election.
The best thing about this cover is it reminded me of the “bird hairdo” tag.

I’m pretty sure this pic is from the back page of MAD Magazine,if you fold it in half – you see a pretty butterfly !

“Mammal, Man’s most dangerous nature, plays bird roulette with Russia’s most vicious nature…”

He’s playing Russian roulette with an American eagle in a Mexican standoff …

@Raoul: …with a serving of French toast, suffering from German measles?
July 5th, 2017 at 3:30 pm
Did they go Dutch on the French toast?

I think our independence worked out just fine.
July 14th, 2017 at 4:31 pm
Did they just say…russian?

Is it just me, or does the word “PLAYS” in the blurb look to have been cut and pasted in, in not-quite the right size?
Almost as if it were… hacked.
July 18th, 2017 at 5:27 pm
If those are scars….that is one bad-ass bird.

New game: add “Florida” to “man” in the blurb:
“Florida man, nature’s most dangerous mammal, plays Russian roulette with nature’s most vicious bird …”
