It’s a Two-fer Tuesday – Virgin Planet special!
Good Show Sir Comments:
#1 It says “Cover design Lester, Larkin & Divers” on back cover. Took a three-man team to design an arse cover.
#2 OK lady but if you’ve never seen a man you’re setting your expectations up a little high.

Scott B Comments: I was moved to (bad) verse –
Bravely the God of bumblebee-ants
Went forth to battle in his stripy pants
With crossbow held aloft
And leopard-print loincloth
When Venus was conquered he’d dance!

Audes Art Direction: Hey, we need dragons. What, no dragon art available ? Slap that one from the bunch we’ve licensed for cheap with the… what ? Anthropomorphic weapon-wielding lizards, yeah, nevermind that there aren’t any in the boo… Oh, and some snazzy font, you know, one of those that scream fantasy or sci-fi, whatever, make it bright and bold.
