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: 5.53 out of 10)

    Costigan called. He said can you change the title to Costigan’s Mighty Thrusting Monolith?

    it’s about tiny people trying to get off a meat-feats pizza to the far-off lands of poppadom-and-chutney on the horizon.

    It’ll be a fantastic adventure. In time.

    Now? Not so much. Mostly pointy.

    Serious lack of clothing options on this planet. I like the 2 figures way in the background pointing in different directions.

    Umm, no to the post in general. One of my favorite covers. The colors, the space needle, the AMAZING landscape. Boo boo boo boo boo. The perfect pulp sci-fi cover creation.

    I think this is a great cover, too. And you can’t blame the tiny people for running: they’re being attacked by a giant black clothespin.

    There used to be a SF writer named ‘[X]-OHL’ for every letter of the alphabet, Sadly, only Frederick Pohl and Jerry Sohl have survived.

    Is it me, or is that “needle” making everyone do the twist?
