Happy New Year!
And so the world has spun, strutted and wobbled its way around the sun yet again! We’ve come through ruff storms, predictions of the end of the world and a lot of superhero movies. This leaves us though with one eternal question, will anyone find a cover to top I Sing The Body Electric!?! It certainly doesn’t look like it! But who knows, who knows eh? I am sure the year ahead will be full of wondrous treasures!
Thanks to everyone for sending in all the covers we’ve posted over the year! And thanks to everyone who leaves a comment. Oh they do make me laugh! Ah ha ha ha ha… ha!
The top rated cover of the year:
A personal favourite:

Hakan Comments: I picked this up in Picocon 29 in London today. Cost me a grand total of £1. Interestingly this was mainly before the hippy ages so I am not sure what they were smoking.

D Plover Comments: Having looked at this often, I realise that the most startling thing about this cover is not the anxious bird man, the three arsed lady or the giant foot, but the super-neon numeral 4 that’s blasting out of the cover!

Joachim Comments: If catwoman actually had ears, a tail, and pink and yellow striped skin and walked around naked…

Adam Comments: We have everything you could want with this cover. Giant space-squids, intense aborigonies, rocket ships and WWI German soldiers. Everything, that is, except a clock.

Raj’s Art Direction: Hmm, green, let’s go for a green rural idyll, with a giant green flying cat. Oh, and a woman in a green corset and very little else. In fact, make the woman riding the cat, while holding a sword. And that still leaves a little bit of space, why not fill it with a giant moon?

Many thanks to Raj!
