he looks bent alright.

Cataracts are a terrible affliction.

If I had to master a world which I had just destroyed, I would have glowing eyes, too.
Or is he secretly a cat person?

He was a destroyer from another planet – bent on sniffing the butts of the tiny Earthmen’s women!

This is what smoking can do to YOU, kids!

@Jaouad I was thinking the same thing. That and how did they get Sophia Loren to pose like that? Must have been when she was between gigs.

He was a destroyer from another planet – who forced the little Saucer Women to put blonde highlights in his giant blue fro!

And by “bent on mastery of the world”, he means an earth woman who wants nothing more than for him to stop stalking her.

Prone lady without any visible means of support looks likes she was cut out (probably with scissors) from another sleaze paperback cover and glued onto this cover.

LOL nice cover!
As far as crappy spaceships goes that one is pretty heinous. Not functional, not cool looking. Is that exhaust fumes or is it blasting something?? The artist perhaps? Lets hope so.

Looks like Mr Destroyer has a fever, and the only cure is hot Earth women!!!
We really need to thank our women folk, how many times have their low cut dresses and ample bossums saved Earth from horrible monstrous aliens??
Thank you Earth women, keep up the great work!!

He is very large, or she is very tiny, or both. Either way, he could use some botox.

Some of these covers bring to light authors I’ve never heard of and wonder if any of these books are good. This author died at the young age of 50. Kind of makes me sad.

I’ve seen people do a similar trick with their dogs except they use a doggie treat instead of a voluptuous woman.

@B’mancer 10: maybe she’s a mime. Looks kind of like a mime pose. “Help! help! I’m stuck in a phone booth, er, I mean, stuck on a giant nose!”

Was the author lazy and put in too much blank space at the top… or was the editor a klutz and moved the bottom of the picture out of the frame? I dunno…

He was a destroyer of any chance of women ever talking to him — hell bent on reading this book in public

Remember that period in 20th-century architecture when they built houses in the shape of flying saucers?
That space ship looks like they built it to look like one of those houses.

J Hunter Jolly: the John Betjeman/ Gene Wolfe crossover we’ve all been waiting for.

I’m starting a betting pool on this one — bet for or against this cover soon being used on the SFWA Bulletin…
Starting Odds:
For: 90%
Against: 10%
June 14th, 2013 at 5:17 pm
Heh. I think that bulletin cover was a little too cheesecake even for us!

With a name like Monarch Books, are those small chrysalises in his eyes?
