Joachim Comments: Girl with strategically placed stars (of course).  Chola eyebrows and bleached blonde hair with walking shark with gill piercing/oops, I mean a chain-leash….  And she has claws of course — see, the cover is derived entirely from the TITLE!

Art Direction: Look this is the 70′s! Who doesn’t have a LSD induced swirling vision of a womans face while walking around topless and carrying their longbow? I had one last night. Just draw, or you don’t get any happy juice!

Don Comments: If you were surrounded by a tribble with fangs, Dennis the Menace, the girl from Season 1 of THE TOMORROW PEOPLE, a corpse, a skeletal alien, a streaker, a horse and an off-panel Robin Hood, you’d be all “WTF?!” too.

John Comments: There isn’t a joke I could make that would trump the description on the back – “The wife of a powerful figure in CA is found brutally murdered in the couple’s lonely mountain retreat.  Wesley Stoneham made certain that all the evidence concerning the murderer of his wife pointed to a nearby hippie community.  He had 3 goals in mind: to get rid of his wife, to drive out the hippie commune, and to enhance his own power in the state.  He was at the point of achieving them all when Garnna, from the peaceful planet of Zartic finally made contact with Debby, a hippie from the commune, who had problems of her own.  Then, Stoneham’s troubles began.” OF COURSE I BOUGHT THIS RIGHT AWAY!
