Art Direction: I want this one looking exactly like a scary leaflet you’d get from some crazed new age cult! Naked opaque giant men, lens flares, rings of fire and eighties squiggles! We’ll double our congregation with this. Sorry, I mean readers… or… do I?

Is that a mountain in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?

Riddle me this! I am naked, transparent and six storeys tall. I’m a bubble boy twice, til the meteors fall. A zig-zagging river flows where I tread. If you look at my cover you will damage your head.

Someone in editorial has registered the success of Julian May’s Many Coloured Land books methinks…

Apparently, the giant is missing half of his left leg.

I think the point is made, there are many silly covers. Wouldn’t it be interesting to sometimes show a combination with some real good covers? Or are these too rare in sci-fi and fantasy?

“Riddle me this! I am naked, transparent and six storeys tall. I’m a bubble boy twice, til the meteors fall. A zig-zagging river flows where I tread. If you look at my cover you will damage your head.”
OK, I’ll guess. The answer is…
…um…
…uh…
… Glenn Beck on acid?

@Dalton H #8: Bottom of his right leg looks like a knee to me. He’s down on one knee.
I especially like the random jagged S runes, and how they’re echoed by the shape of the river, and how this cover makes me want to sing Mormon hymns somehow.

I didn’t think this cover was that bad. A little cheesy and it could lose that random comet but otherwise pretty decent. No?
