I’ve heard of a man with three buttocks, but a man with three breasts?!
November 27th, 2013 at 9:26 am
Are they singing and dancing?

I think I would have erred on the side of caution, and space-sheeped the triple-boob.
Certainly demanding of a “font problems” tag, although you’ve got to admire that droopy S with enclosed 6.

Ah, the eternal question – is it a font problem or font flair?
I’m still hoping to find a black and white cat hidden somewhere within this illustration, even though it most likely falls within the Pre-Orson Ouvre.

Edward Elmer Smith PhD. A true prophet. Not only did he provide almost all the space-age terminology for ‘Star Trek’ in the forties but be foresaw the Nolan Sisters.

Tom at #6: ROTFL worthy. 🙂

The last crew to try this ploy had been ambushed by tentacles and lost their trousers!

A ‘The Producers’ Broadway scam using the Fantastic Four and Dr. Doom COULD work, if the Four were female quadruplets and Doom had a boom-box on his chest.

Amazing; there is ting everywhere except on the metal suit.
November 27th, 2013 at 6:59 pm
@Tag Wizard: This would seem to be begging for that ‘interpetive dance’ tag. Among other things.
November 27th, 2013 at 7:49 pm
What the hell is going on in this cover…i mean…..WTF? Power rangers without their masks?
What is with the orgasmic giant face as well?
November 27th, 2013 at 8:01 pm
Not sure what’s going on, but maybe they’re doing a riff on “Brown Girl In The Ring”:
Cyborg in the ring
tra-la-la la-la!
there’s a cyborg in the ring
tra la-la-la-la-la!
Cyborg in the ring
tra-la-la la-la!
He looks like a wannabe RoboCop, tra-la-la!

Is this an early rehearsal for the seminal Sarah Brightman & Hot Gossip hit “I lost my Heart to a Starship Trooper”:

Hey Tag Wiz–This just sings out for some “interpretive dance” love…
@A.R, Yngve @13: Dangit, you beat me to it! That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this! Although you came up with better lyrics…
November 28th, 2013 at 7:16 am
A lot of these cheesy covers look better if you play “I lost my Heart to a Starship Trooper†in the background (that song is definitely a “guilty pleasure” of mine…).
😉
November 28th, 2013 at 7:13 pm
Truth, Stevie T! You know what else it sings out for? An author tag, a series tag, and there’s something else that I hadn’t seen, but now I have seen, I just can’t unsee… now what was it…

It’s always embarrassing when you misplace your glasses and have to squint in order to find your home planet.
Doubly so when you’re called The Famous Lensman.

It was only when Ken, still completely lacking his own proper apparatus, dared to grow the third boob that the Barbies had had enough. Clad in tasteful, color-coordinated jumpsuits, they slowly, menacingly, closed in.

Total Recall 2: This time Arnie has the third boob.

Go Go Power Lensman! Mighty Morphin Power Lensman!
For more obscure but more fitting: “Lensmanplanet”.
December 28th, 2013 at 10:39 am
Ok. Now, who’s “The Len”?
January 4th, 2014 at 3:31 pm
I see the “booties” tag, but I’m not seeing any on the cover…the girls have rather flat looking behinds if you ask me…
January 5th, 2014 at 9:59 am
The song is obviously “Baby’s Got No Back” by Sir White-A-Bread.
August 18th, 2015 at 4:39 am
Mighty Androgynous Power Rangers!
August 18th, 2015 at 8:08 pm
It just hit me: No one thought of the pun “Jazz Hands”. We should all be ashamed…
December 16th, 2015 at 10:45 pm
Now I’ve read one of the books in the series too, FIRST LENSMAN. (Well, listened to it at librivox.org .)
How bad was it?
The author deserves covers like these.
December 16th, 2015 at 11:08 pm
As great as this cover is (and it is truly awesome), nothing says ‘Lensman’ like Rod Taylor in jodhpurs:

“I want a three-boobed guy with an O face and glowing arms. Add four baffled and bemused identical-twin ladies forming a circle around him. And make the O face also the background.”

The cover semi-accurately depicts a scene from the book, psionically rescuing their father from eternal banishment.
