Good Show Sir Comments: “Urania” (Italian for “Your Ass!”) is a science fiction magazine that has been around forever and apparently is still in business. So I guess we could call this an Italian Honourable Mentions as well as an Italian Megapost. Anyway, have at it, and divertiti!
Uno. Wait until he discovers you have to put your feet through the floorboards to drive it away.
Due. Say ciao to my little friend!
Tre. At least this solves my unibrow problem.
Quattro. They call me Signore Spock.
Published 1955, 1958, 1959, 1960

Bellatrix Art Direction: “I told you over the phone the title was “The Big Guy”. Never mind. It’s easier to change the title than redo the cover.”

It’s a Two-fer Tuesday: Müller-What-The-Fokker Goings-on
#1 Tat Wood’s Art Direction: “Look, we’re late to this whole Cyberpunk thing but I’ve got the rights to a book about a guy being stored as data. It was published twenty years ago but we can kid the nerds into thinking it’s hip and fresh. It’s a comedy but for Chrissake don’t let on.”
#2 Good Show Sir Comments: Tat lays down the challenge, but I say you can never beat the first edition. Those hardcover publishers only hire the best artists.

Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: Remember your expression when you walked in on me in the bathroom? Just like that, but with a floating huge mountain in front of your face instead of my dong.
