Gah! Scary floating head!
It’s like that time I took those mushrooms, Portobello I believe… but then after dinner I watched a 70’s psychedelic movie.

I don’t know, i think i like this one.
I’m definately intrigued as to why a lizardman wearing a 1900’s suit is riding a Penny-farthing bicycle through the set of a western movie.

After the American channel AMC released the rights to The Prisoner, the only buyer was the economically challenged lizardoid people of planet Gleebanx.

Sometimes a Sleestak just wants to enjoy a nice Sunday ride, is that so wrong?

Only two colours – an ink-saving measure, or a colour-blind designer?
Riding a penny farthing isn’t easy at the best of times.

One of the moons is a head!

This book needs a bilious colour scheme like a lizard needs a bicyc… hang on…

Call me strange if you want, but I think this cover really works! I’d pick it up and give it a read.

The text says, “A galactic newshound takes on a freaked-out planet.” Doesn’t say who wins, though. Clearly, it’s not the readers.

Nice cover…
Alternate book titles:
– IT’S NOT EASY SEEING GREEN
– ON A BICYCLE MADE FOR ONE
– FANTASTIC VOYAGE INTO DAVID ICKE’S BRAIN

Yea I do rather like this one. I would definitely buy it.
Though I am pretty sure riding any thin wheel based transport through that type of terrain would be mighty difficult!

Unless you’re a SPACE FROG!

That’s no frog… that’s a… well… that thing from star trek.

I actually rather like this one. And I’m no amphibiphile.

Minor Rule 3 infraction here: like pretty much all of Ron Goulart’s SF (at least the stuff he writes under his own name – see the TekWar entry earlier), it’s a comedy/parody.
Even so, this cover looks like it’s TRYING to be serious. Therefore, Good Show Sir!

It’s like Frog and Toad gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Perhaps Roddy Piper’s finest hour.

What happen when you park your penny-farthing illegally?
You get toad.

Gary Oldman immediately regretted signing on for ‘Zardoz II’

Little too much partying for the Platty Jubes, GSS lads, requiring a rerun? You know you can’t drink as much as that family. Is this cover representative of what you saw when you first awoke?
@fred: Good find and so apropos, though I’d argue Roddy’s finest hour was “They Live”. If only for the bubble gum line.
@Tor: groan!
