Tom Noir’s Art Direction: I want a naked man, and he’s playing with these two blue balls. No, no, I’m saying he’s handling two massive globes. Don’t make ’em the same size, one is bigger than the other. Have him straining, concentrating intensely. Look, I don’t see what’s so funny about this.

Vincent Comments: To be fair, the cover blurb says that it is “different” and judging by the illustration, which I cannot even comprehend, I think that’s very fair.

Moons of Triopus

I hate coming to the Moons... Everyone is so abstract...Click for full image

Frank Comments: I get the idea the artist read the teaser on the first page, “WHAT’S SO SPLENDID ABOUT WESTERN CULTURE THAT YOU WANT TO SPREAD IT ALL OVER THE GALAXY? I TELL YOU THERE’S SOMETHING ON TRIOPUS THAT CAN NEVER BE REMADE.” …and painted something that you probably wouldn’t want to remake even if you could.

Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: You, my friend, are an artist! And a good one at that, so I will not make you draw just any old crap. Give me something like… The Birth of Venus… but instead of her covering herself up… have a naked guy in a bondage space suit holding an alien flower.

The E.S.P. Worm

22 Comments »

Darling, have you ever noticed our ESP worm is a bit more... rainbow-ie than most?Click for full image

Scott’s Art Direction: I was drinking fairly heavily when I read, “The E.S.P. Worm” but I’m pretty sure it was about an estranged pair of anthropomorphic sticks of chalk, plus a bespectacled penis, I mean “worm”, lassoing the Earth with its magic rainbow powers. So put that on the cover!
