George Comments: Mirror, mirror, on the floor, me and my bug are going to war!

Published 1983

You might remember this from here. But you would be wrong.

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: 7.69 out of 10)

    At first glance I thought those two were riding those bugs and jousting.
    Now THAT would be a stupid cover.

    It’s like a dog seeing its own reflection.

    A slightly modified soundtrack from ‘National Lampoon’s Family Vacation’ sung by Wayne Newton would do nice,

    Was this sorcerer called Exotropia Stabismus?

    Astoundingly we have yet another example of the Misplaced Scabbard Syndrome, where an apparently right-handed swordsman has his scabbard on his right hip. What is wrong with these cover artists? Have they never engaged in swordplay? I do think that over the past years I have made a case for a “Misplaced Scabbard” tag, no?

    Spider is all, “Whoa, do I really have that many eyes and legs? No wonder everyone is so freaked out when they see me.”

    So he’s definitely fighting his evil twin or duplicate on an icy lake while not-Skeletor watches from on high, yes?

    You can pick your skulls, and you can pick your nose, but you shouldn’t pick your skull’s nose.

    Worst. Jackanory. Ever.

    When I saw this cover, I immediately thought of Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries”.
    Obviously it would have to be the 8 bit version of the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbTN8dqs54g

    “You’re an _evil_ mirror clone, right?”
    “Yup.”
    “Damn.Why are they always evil?”

  13. THX 1139 Says:

    I think they’re both good guys – neither has a tell-tale goatee.

  14. B. Chiclitz Says:

    @Bibliomance@driemaster@Tor Mented: GSS!

  15. GSS ex-noob Says:

    @B’mancer (1): At first glance, I thought they were both bug-centaurs, which I think is even worse!

    @Tor: GSS! You’ve summed it up perfectly.

    No comment on the new tag Tag Wizard created for this cover?

  17. A.R.Yngve Says:

    Skeletor did a lot of celebrity guest appearances just to coast on his “He-Man” fame.

  18. Wilbur Says:

    You have to admire the artist’s dedication to mirror image action, given that he or she has included both a vertical AND and horizontal mirror image, for a total of four views of a single character and his arachnoid companion.
