Lauren Comments: Thought you might like to compare another version of this timeless tale of a dentist bravely going where no man has gone before. Namely, into an alien mouth full of yuk caused by a lack of dental hygiene.

Benjamin Comments: “Listen, if this book sells more than 30 copies it’ll be a miracle. It’s done up in a strawberry-ice-cream-pink cover with a bright green toy rocket ship and some cheap plaster busts of LBJ and JFK and a coke bottle and a hamburger on the front — I showed it to a classroom full of gifted children up at the College of Marin and one kid said ‘That’s a toy book.’” – Richard A. Lupoff (Locus #159, 1974)

Glenn Comments: An alpha male, a naked lady, a cautious beta male, and a 1950ies era high tech explosion. It’s a time capsule. A horrible time capsule.

Man of the Mountian’s Art Direction: So, the story is about a girl trapped in the middle of the black death in midevial England, while everyone back in her time are dying of a flu epidemic. Give us a nice upbeat cover, otherwise nobody is going to buy this!

 Joachim Comments: I love most of Richard Powers’ surrealist covers — but, this one…  Surrealism exponentially cheapened with a gigantic looming OUTRAGEOUSLY pink girl with strategically placed element models and a pistolled cowboy with a space suit and matching pink gloves and boots…  And throw in some little men with spears, a spaceship and scattered cacti for good effect.

Stevie Comments: Robert Silverberg’s Recalled to Life has to be the classic tentacle-sex cover drama.  Why is the guy naked and floating in a huge vat of octopus to begin with?  Wow!

Many thanks to Stevie!

So this is the cover I came up with, what do you think? Tim? Paul? Guys? Did you like the inclusion of the berries, the half skull, and subtle heart monitoring line? The large glowing atom in a circle on the dudes head? I’ll take your silence as a yes.

Thanks to CSA!
