His face is flushed and his veins are visible in his wings…I think the poor chap is going into cardiac arrest. That would also explain why there’s no sense of forward motion.
Seriously. Considering the time of publication, I would have bought this despite the bland artwork and awful title, (The Lucifer Comet? Dirty Ice? Ooh, evil!) Nope Tag line gets me. Satan in orbit? Around what? Or who? Man, how evil would you have to be to have Satan orbiting around you? Seriously, I wanna know.
of course she would look blasé, how would you look if you had your scantily covered backside trust to the viewers of this site for eternity…or several decades at least until the database crashes again….
What does Satan’s orbit intersect with? Doesn’t that imply possible collisions?
The Sir Mix-worthy damsel does look terribly blase about being flown around by a demon with her draperies flapping in the breeze and her thong undies and buttockal region hanging out.
@Tor: From this angle, it looks like they might already have.
“What does Satan’s orbit intersect with? Doesn’t that imply possible collisions?”
Is Satan small enough to land on a planet? Does he have retrorockets? Or at least parachutes?
Is “Lucifer Comet” just another name for Satan? Is Satan composed of ten billion tons of dirty ice? Difficult questions, but not beyond all conjecture.
I think what we’re seeing is the very first split second of abduction. She is still considering what kind of trousers she should wear today before realizing she’s been snatched.

More importantly, what does Satan’s orbit intersect with?

Kidnapped damsel… or novelty mobile phone?

Why couldn’t ‘Lucifer’s Hammer’ have had a cover like this.

Shouldn’t it be “cometh”?

She’s thinking, “Well if someone had told me that I was going to be flown around by an evil bat demon I would have worn slacks instead instead.”

Not so much “damsel in distress” as “damsel in routine transit”.

Did Satan steal her from off of the dragon? Or vice versa? Maybe it’s the dragon that’s in Satan’s ‘intersecting orbit’…

The Lucifer Comet, eh? The worst Halley’s ever brought us was a bunch of TV specials and Mark Twain’s ghost ( https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/517L9sYvmAL._SX328_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg )
I think I actually owned this one once…IIRC, there was also a cometary angel involved.

Not many people are familiar with this part of the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Artist obviously was a fan of ‘Gargoyles’. The made for TV movie, not the cartoon.
End titles theme with movie montage, 1:30.

@Bibliomancer—As the good Jesuit fathers taught me, “Ars longa vita brevis” which I think translates to “Big arse, small underwear.”

Perhaps Lucifer lives on/in the ten billion tons of dirty ice. Wasn’t Satan surrounded by ice in “The Inferno”?
April 27th, 2019 at 5:18 am
@BAM—Your conjecture has some plausibility—after all, isn’t the innermost pit of hell, where Satan is found in Dante, frozen?
The Emperor of the kingdom dolorous
From his mid-breast forth issued from the ice
And I’m sure it’s none too clean down there, perhaps the source of
the old expression “The Devil’s in the dirt balls.”
No reason why Hell *can’t* be located in a dirty ice ball hurtling through intergalactic space when you think about it.

To understand the tag line, note that the winged demon must be classified as an insect due to the six limbs:
2 – normal legs
2 – normal arms
2 – clawed wings
The tagline should read, “In Satan’s Insecting Orbit.” Slightly more accurate?
