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.

Thanks to CSA!
