First, I didn’t see the gun and thought that beam of light came from elswhere…

@Valerie: That would certainly be a healthy stream..

The tree seems to be enjoying it rather a lot…

No eyes! That poor fellow has no shirt, no shoes, and no eyes!

“These jeans are too tight for me to move! DO SOMETHING!”

No shoes but it appears they aren’t lacking for quality hair care products or laundry service. In fact they are probably at the dry cleaners to pick up his shirt but there seems to be some disagreement over who is next in line.

“Look out!!! He’s growing over a period of several decades right at us!!!”

1. Haven’t had a chance to say this for awhile:
“Face in tree!”
2. Is that a ray gun or a revolver? Looks like an energy beam, but then why does the thing need a cocking hammer?
3. Tiers!

Assuming she kills the tree-beast by this method, isn’t it going to fall on them?

@B. Chiclitz: look at her companion, and tell us why you think her gun needs a cocking hammer.

He’s got wood.

@DSWBT 11—excellent point. This guy’s got over-compensating written all over him.

Anyone remember the hapless sequel to ‘Saturday Night Fever’ in which Travolta tried to jump the ‘Flashdance’ bandwagon just as it stalled and Frank Stallone did the music?
This book’s cover must be depicting ‘Satan’s Alley’, the Broadway show in ‘Stayin’ Alive’. There must have been gurning trees and water-pistols in a scene cut from the finished movie.

@Tat: thanks for your concern, but no, I don’t remember a sequel to ‘Saturday Night Fever’. 😉

Its a drunken dare gone horribly wrong as they generally do; she’s trying to shave his pubes with a laser and accidentally killed an Ent-thing.

It’s an ent being harrassed and made to drink pee at gunpoint by bullies.
Just look at his horrified expression. This is so wrong.

That guy looks like a refugee from an 80’s dance video, who has clearly just ended up in this world and lost his shirt and shoes along the way – but not his headband, oddly enough. The woman, meanwhile, has somewhere acquired a rather ineffective-looking ray gun, and they have gotten into a scrape with an irritated sentient tree.
This looks “promising”.

Doctor Buffbody kept the patient distracted with his manly, yet sensitive, bedside manner while Doctor Leiarella carefully burned out the dangerous wood borer beetles.

Nobody expects the Vallejo hunk butt.

1981 and they’re still wearing flares?

@Tat Wood: here in the US at least the Disco era wasn’t fully purged from the system until 1982. 1983 was the first “purely 80s” year.

@Bruce: Was it an improvement?

I hope the colors have faded on that book over time, because they’re sure beige and bland nowadays… checks ISFDB Nope.
I feel sorry for the face-tree. Zap guns and a crotch pointed at it.
I looked at the position of various dude body parts, and while they’re individually buff and manly, the overall effect is awkward. His spine is verging on Escher Girl. He’s leaning back so far he might topple over if it weren’t for the extreme duck feet pose. Seriously, tell me how he gets his ankles to do that. Is it that Boris, like everyone else, can’t draw feet?
And why does yon damsel have on a bullet bra?
@Tat (10): Is anyone going to mind if it does? If an ent falls on John Travolta in a forest, does anyone care?

They acquired some clothing between volumes 1 and 2.

Hmm. So maybe a shirt and some shoes by volume 3 then.

I needed a new set of all-terrain 235/75R17 Michelins, but the catalog I ordered from The World of Tires was very confusing until I discovered the typo in my request.
