Art Direction: A lizard… with a codpiece… fighting in World War 2 may seem like a crazy idea. But just put him in a work out vest and give him a laser gun. It will all work itself out!

Dorian’s Art Direction: What do you mean, there are no scantily clad women in the story?  No werewolf?  No heaps of treasure?  No weird monster consisting entirely of teeth and wings?  Ah, who cares?  No-one ever looks at these things anyway.

Libraryman comments: I love how it seems as if the characters are just randomly placed around this dead body. Kind of like a cluedo clue. “It was Sinbad with the scimitar in the dungeon!”
Published 1995

This cover… is perfect!
Libraryman, good show sir!

Nothing gets the attention of women more than standing in the midst of an ice cavern with little clothes and showing off your bare chest. Holding your short sword in an inspiring way while standing by your Viking boat sleigh. That’s right. A boat sleigh.

There comes a time in a person’s life when they see something so beautiful it brings tears to their eyes.  Space ships, laser rifles, power backpacks, France being destroyed and of course, the mighty lizardman with a mohawk. People will cry my friend, people will cry for hours.

Thanks to CSA!

(I’m off for the next couple of days so no more updates till next week. Enjoy!)

I'm pretty sure watching this movie will completely tell us how to defeat a dragon.Click for full image

You know what always bugged the hell out of me about the whole north verses south thing?  No dragons or magic crystal orbs. The north frees the south of: dragons! Right there on the cover, with King Lincoln watching the battle on his orb! It almost makes me proud to be Americaglish… or whatever.
