Cover motif: Moore’s lesser-known story “Twerking Shambleau”.

Because who wouldn’t think Buster Crabbe looked better without his trousers on?

Class act on the mouseover text! 🙂
Where’s his right arm?
September 25th, 2017 at 11:46 am
His right thigh seems a wee bit long. And where exactly are those lower snakes attached.

Is it my imagination, or is that Flesh Gordon?

Nice asp, lady!
This cover was painted so darkly. I tried photographing and scanning it to show the details but it was like the artist put three coats of lacquer over everything. I have no idea where superhero’s right arm or knee went.

“Are her snakes bigger than mine?” he thought to himself.

@Bibliomancer—that artistic technique is the result of painting dog portraits all those years, trying to hide the genitalia and all.

An excerpt from CL Moore’s “other” literary masterpiece:
‘Twas the night before daytime and all through the house
The lady with snakes in her head was aroused.
She stripped herself naked and pointed her asp
At a guy who could only recoil and gasp.
“Nice pouch,” she observed as she puckered her lips
“Er, thanks,” he replied, trying to give her the slip.
The moon, on the crest of her two perky breasts
Cast modesty shadows all over the rest.
He laughed rather nervously, backing away
And finally she knew that he just would not play.
So laying a finger aside of her—nose
And shaking her asp, off the cover she rose!
And he heard her exclaim as she flew out of sight
“I’ll find a real man if it takes me all night!”

BC may write poems, but I will not bite. 😉 Good show, sir!

Is she wearing a radioactive choker?
September 25th, 2017 at 4:24 pm
@DStuffWBT—good catch on that choker. Even when embiggened, I cannot tell if that is an object (e.g. a lacy rosebud) or a radiation cloud coming from it. A snake charm, perhaps?
September 25th, 2017 at 4:45 pm
@BC: quite the opposite, I think. It’s why she’s bright red (hematomae) and losing her pelage.

There’s still time for Mel Brooks to make Flash Gordon: Men in Tights.

@BC – Nice poem but wrong Moore. You are forgetting CL Moore’s other career:

I hate to say it, but this lilac-coloured beaux-arts retro look is exactly what it felt like for me to read CL Moore in the 80s. A whole anthology was like eating five packets of Parma Violets in an hour.
September 25th, 2017 at 11:40 pm
@DSWBT – That’s not a radioactive choker. That’s her gaydar going off.
September 26th, 2017 at 12:38 am
I’m sure I read this same anthology and there wasn’t anything about Flash Gordon, or Flesh Gordon, or Buster Crabbe in it.
September 26th, 2017 at 1:33 am
I didn’t know Gorgons went for double amputees.

@Bibliomancer—Good one, Kemosabe. Tonto taken by surprise! 🐴

Nothing is more awkward than when your girlfriend feels the need to crouch down when you get your picture taken with together.

Twerking Shambleau vs. Prince Valiant Smith.
@Michael Toland: Flesh had a lightning bolt on his chest, and his tights were also blue. But good eye — damn near identical, even the hair!

Since nobody’s made the effort to mention the Obvious Pun, that solemn duty falls on my shoulders… taking a bullet for the team, so to speak… *ahem*

@GSSxn—the real Flesh had a better mullet. Otherwise, uncanny!
