That is some disturbing pelvic thrusting from the young man with the gun. No wonder the lady looks a little disappointed.
Reminds me of the weird leg stance thing of George Osborne http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/oct/06/caption-competition-george-osborne-conservative-conference

This looks AMAZING. I love everything about it.
I’m sure that bra is very comfortable.

I love the fox bat! If I could get it house trained, I would buy one at once and bring it home with me.

I think it’s very progressive, letting victims of elephantiasis become space heroes too.

Log rolling hits the sci-fi world big time.

What are the odds a gingy space opera hero fights a gingy space opera monster to defend a apace opera damsel in distress who is wearing gingy short shorts.

@fred: 1 – (cheapest colour available to artist / amount s/he is paid to care) ^deadline

Looks like the hero on the cover is Captain Future. Don’t really want to know what the space teddy bear is up to.

It looks like Zapp Brannigan trying to decide which one he wants to get into bed with.

@Juan: more like he made the decision, and his wife caught him in the act!

She looks so disappointed that her beach outing was interrupted by an irritated giant bat and a raygun-wielding “hero” who thinks himself the gods’ gift to women.

Bottom right: a cushion seems to be showing ‘The Two Ronnies’ and the lady’s sneaking a glance while posing for the cover-artist.Mr cameltoe is leaning on the glass that separates him from the foxbat.
I conclude that this was taken from a behind-the-scenes shot of the models relaxing just after the ‘correct’ one was committed to film and the wrong photo was given to the artist. I approve of getting real people and space-creatures to dress up and pose for space-opera cover-art. The spirit of Frank Hampson lives on.

@Tat, I believe the preferred PC term for male cameltoe is “mooseknuckle”

The design of his shirt is certainly emphatic!

Exclamation! Point! Man! Is! Here! To! Save! The! Day!

They seem pretty calm, all things considered…Were they trying to steal that creature’s giant Easter egg on the right?

Hmmmm….
Why is Ray-gun Ray making a fist with his left hand? It looks like he’s grasping a doorknob, from the wrist position. Probably trying to get away from the giant bat…or the modeling session.
