“blue dragons”
“business beings”
…
The cover art is just bizarre muddy icing on the WTF cake.

Publisher to artist: “so make sure you include the blue dragons on both the back and front covers … remember they’re blue dragons: their colour is BLUE”
Artist: “Sure, sure …[later] …now what was that colour? Something beginning with ‘B’ … ah yes, Brown!”
Of course, ‘blue’ may simply refer to their mood.
Also, I would have thought any self-respecting tacky paperback publisher would’ve given the line “Rogue Stud of the Universe” a lot more prominence: making it the subtitle at least.

Move over Gully Foyle and Valentine Smith. Step aside, Hari Seldon and Guy Montag. Here comes a TRUE SF hero:
Nicholas Piggot!

Why spend the time on detail, when you can…scribble!

Here’s a bit of fun. Substitute ‘Lester’ for ‘Nicholas’, and ‘Inland Revenue’ for ‘Blue Dragons’. And, er, ‘London’ for ‘Manhattan’, of course.

Someone was drunk in it and it was not only the character of the story. The writer and the artist must have been completely legless!

Moral: all an unpopular planet needs is a splash of Brut 33 and a medallion and it’ll safely be in rogue stud territory.

That critter looks like Joe Camel.

Honestly – who among us doesn´t want sex for the purpose of procreation when we are drunk?

I would swear this is a previously unpublished Tarzan cover.

You have to admire their restraint in giving this evidently raunchy read such a dreary title. And such an unheroic name for the protagonist. A premise like that begs for a rugged, windswept name like… David Icke.

“They had definite plans for Joe Swill…”
“They had definite plans for Max Hogg…”
“They had definite plans for Rex Oink…”

‘They had definite plans for Greg Bear, too, but he escaped the indignity.’ 🙂

Just found the perfect title for any future resume I send out “Rogue Stud of the Universe”

That expression seems extremely appropriate if there’s a naked guy sitting on your neck.

Hey there, Mr. Big and Mighty Rogue Stud! Welcome to Unpopular Planet, population YOU!

An act of violence trapped him . . .
An act of love betrayed him . . .
And so they nabbed his sorry ass
And tossed him in the Tha-emz.
