Published 1981

Actually, that cover IS a classical work of art!I would touch it without protective gloves.I've seen worse. Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning! Feels so good!Good Show Sir! (Average: 7.04 out of 10)

    The superstition police have her on charges of messing with the 13th sun.

    “Evil Princess, thigh boots, jeweled underpants or no, you’re rightful realm is still the kitchen in front of the nuclear stove baking atomic cookies. Now you get back in there young lady and stop lusting for power!”

    Can’t go anywhere these days without stepping into the Trump campaign.

    I have no idea what’s going on there but I’ve got a hunch it will involve a disco ball at some stage.

  8. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    Misread that as by ‘Mark Wahlberg’.

    SCIENCE FICTION-PRINCESS ANTANA LAUGHED CRUELLY AS HER MIND FOCUSED ON BARCHEK.SHE KNEW SHE HAD HIM THE MOMENT HIS MIND LOCKED WITH HERS.NOW,IT WAS A SIMPLE MATTER OF A SUGGESTION,AND SHE COULD SEND THE MAN INTO A BERSERK FRENZY,KILLING EVERYONE IN HIS PATH.THROUGH THIS SPECIAL ENVOY OF THE IMPERIAL EMPEROR SHE WOULD TAKE THE EMPIRE IN IT’S ENTIRETY. I hope that the back cover blurb is spelled properly in ‘it’s’ original form…

  10. Anna T. Says:

    Well, she’s certainly a “Fiction-Princess” alright, but she doesn’t look especially evil – more like an outrageous flirt. Although, maybe the black thigh-high boots are an indication of her true morality . . .

    Michael Flatley and Jean Butler in the racy version of Riverdance the Catholic church didn’t want you to see!

    if ‘Star Wars’ hadn’t saved Elstree, the logical way for late 70s British films to have gone would have been a mix of Joan Collins bonkbusters and Doug McClure drilling to Atlantis in a blimp and meeting dinosaurs and aliens.’Beyond the 13th Sun’ could have ended the trilogy after ‘Journey to the Centre of the Bitch’ and ‘The World is Full of Piltdown Men’.

  13. Ray P Says:

    Logic would have been Robin Askwith playing lead in Flash Gordon.

  14. Tat Wood Says:

    @ Ray P.: I like your logic but we’d already had ‘Flesh Gordon’. As, in our world, ‘Flash Gordon’ was intended as a Fellini film but got given to the director of ‘Get Carter’ and had a script by Lorenzo Semple Junior (with input from Frank Herbert) it sort of makes sense that the Arborian Temple scene has the author of ‘Look Back in Anger’ presiding over the author of ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ as a future James Bond kills a future Chief Scout and ‘Blue Peter’ presenter.

    But then, Sam J Jones had all his dialogue redubbed so he could just as easily have sounded like Timmy Lea. Or Dave Prowse.

  15. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    @Ray, Tat: this is turning into ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!’, and I’m not sure I fancy that. 😉

    ‘…so I built ANOTHER sun. That one went supernova. So I built ANOTHER sun. That one went supernova. So I built ANOTHER sun. That one went supernova, blew off all of my clothes, fell over and sank into the swamp, but the FOURTEENTH sun stayed!’

  17. A.R.Yngve Says:

    An evil princess… Aw, Dad, why do I have to write this blurb? You said we were going to see Star Wars!”
    “Once you finish the blurb we can go and watch Star Wars. Now write, Billy!”

  18. A.R.Yngve Says:

    Harpo, no!!

  19. Tor Mented Says:

    If they had cast Sigourney Weaver instead of Caroline Munro in “Starcrash.”

    My heart still belongs to Thuvia.

  21. Ryan Says:

    Turmoil!? Oh, no, anything but TURMOIL!

  22. Leak Says:

    @Ryan: how about the Austrian version РTurm̦l?

  23. Bruce A Munro Says:

    “Sending the entire galaxy into turmoil!”

    One of those slightly-more-than-thirteen suns galaxies, I presume.

    Black thigh-highs, a bikini, and a lounge robe: it’s like the Evil Princess isn’t even trying. Where are the spikes? The skulls? The weird hairstyle? 3 out of 10, totally bland. She’s going to have to do some serious work if she ever wants to become an Evil _Queen_.

  24. GSS ex-noob Says:

    @Leak: That’s at least useful.

    @Bruce: Agreed. She looks like the lowest-ranking princess and the blond guy is the sleaze promising “ooh, yeah, baby, I can totally make you an evil queen.”
