That is quite a cauliflower ear. He should stop being creepy and go see his GP.
If Clint Howard had looked like that in The Corbomite Maneuver he wouldn’t have needed the alien dummy. What do you mean, he did look like that?
So, what you’re telling me is, this is THE REEFS OF EARTH dobson science fiction RA Lafferty?

I think the stuff behind him must represent the tall grass of the lawn, which has been allowed to grow unchecked after the disturbing events that transpired the last time they asked elf boy to mow it.
Also, “RaLafferty”? Is that French?
There’s your next Star Trek movie right there. Midwich Cuckoos take over what is left of the Vulcan race, wackiness ensues.
That fringe has ruined my day.
Finally! The answer to that age old question : If Spock and Yoda had an illegitimate love child, what would it look like?
Good luck to you filling Zayn’s shoes, little turtle boy…
Cover art by… the reefers of Earth.
Commander Straker had an accident with a piece of farm machinery during his childhood.
The book sounds all right, but I still want to punch the cover in the face.
The smug god of allergies.
Jolly Green Giant: the troubled teenage years.
The moment JJ Abrams decided not to let Simon Pegg play Spock.
I’m amazed this isn’t the SFBC cover. I see on ISFDB that while many of the other covers were bad, none of them were this creepy.
