    “I look at Steve’s original drawing and the BBC’s Davros character and there are certainly a number of substantial similarities.”

    Cut the black wire.
    After perusing the intranets I must acquire this series.

    My first car was a Skylark DuQuesne. I think it was made by Buick.

    Oddly subdued compared to the text.

    @Perry Armstrong: You know, there is a certain resemblance . . .

    It would seem that in the future it’ll be all the rage for everyone – young, old, male, female – to wear clothing with skirts straight out of your average giant floofy pink princess ballgown. Correct me if I’m wrong, but that just seems rather questionable.

    Looks like a poor man’s Kwisatz Haderach.

    @JuanPaul: Blackie DuQesne is the archetypal moustache-twirling villain so, if anything, Baron Harkonnen is a poor man’s DuQuesne. He goes from being like Terry-Thomas in ‘Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines’ (in the first book) to ranting cosmic supervillainy. The heroes, by contrast, are only redeemed from utter blandness by their habit of forming glee-clubs around the galaxy and the Hardy Boys-ish lack of interest in the two girls they’ve brought along.

    Personally, I thought first of the phrase “trapped in giant alien Jell-O mold.” With wires.

    My second thought was to wonder why this extravaganza of a cover was shelved next to Numerical Initial Value Problems. Not going to hide it from any observant readers.
