Whoa. What the? The cover artist has got my attention. I haven’t the slightest idea what the hell that is, but I am intrigued. If that’s a unicorn, well, for the first time EVER I want one.

@GoodShowSir ha, I always quite liked this one!

I’m glad to see that the money they saved on typefaces went… toward…
*stares*

@space_merchants @GoodShowSir It’s fun! But, let’s be honest, not that great…. haha. I prefer Powers’ cover (duh), http://t.co/IPlDXotkyX

So much more portable than those old dead tree Pluribus Unicorns

The gratuitous after-the-fact addition of the unicorn to tie in with the book title ruins this masterpiece of late-60s-don’t-take-the-brown-acid psychedelic art.
Otherwise it would be hanging in the Guggenheim.

Okay, so there’s a unicorn, upper right. And below that, a black cat. And to the left of them both, a yellow-green skeletal hand with long claws, grasping a bright red head with bulging eyes. And in front of that, striking a pose, is a girl with tattooed breasts – and a black arm coming down out of her ribcage. Plus leaves and hot rod flames behind it all.
Yup. Any stoner high school kid who ever spent an hour doodling in class can sue for plagiarism.

E pluribus vomito.
Shouldn’t there be a great seal here? Balancing a ball on its nose?

@space_merchants @GoodShowSir I know! I also love what they did with the text boxes… Usually the text is just placed haphazardly on it

‘Least its interesting. Beats generic Photoshop covers.

I think I see the words “Black Sabbath Rulz” encoded in there somewhere.
The unicorn’s horn is longer than its body, just saying.

Oddly enough, I caught this thing laying down in my ex’s lap just before we broke up.
October 10th, 2013 at 3:29 pm
I love that cover. That is all.

I don’t think the Luchador can eat that big pile of pancakes.

The Yorkshire edition of this book was titled E BAH GUM.

Hey! Who let Banksy into the bookstore?

Yipes, that’s certainly… something…
Melty-faced person is creeping me out, that’s for sure.

The person with the giant forearm for their lower body is really freaking me out.

Helvetica. Poor, poor Helvetica. People abuse you so.

Of course “E pluribus unicorn” is Latin for, “Out of many… unicorn.”

Judging by the way the economy is going, they might as well print “E pluribus unicorn” on the dollar bills instead of the old slogan….

“Out of many, one horn”?
This is more eye-gouging than the tiny token Unicorn!s extra-long horn.
The bulging bloodshot eyes maybe are an artist’s self-portrait after taking whatever he did to come up with this.
I agree that the person with giant jutting arm has tattoos on the chestal region, but I’m not sure it’s a woman.
Black cat can haz off this cover, plz?
