Ridiculous hats, fancy hats, “boater” hat, and a bird hairdo!
My work here is done.

I’d be less embarrassed reading a porn mag on a bus.

Today, 15 September 2016 CE…today we at GSS have finally had a cover with a blurb that is not only apt, but superlative!

Less DAW than ‘D’ARRRGH!’

‘The American DAW edition has been heavily censored, all the references to sex have been edited out as is one very strange and comic chapter dealing with a prankster crime lord, so if possible, get the British one. The difference between these two versions is significant.’

Mr DAW Censor must have a hat fetish.

“Bayley has produced an ostentatiously ingenious affectation, a literary party trick. I found myself closing the book with an appreciative chuckle.” – Frederick Patten
I find myself avoiding the book with an exhilarating chuckle!

Are these the Goon Squad we’ve heard so much about? Beep beep, as the Roadrunner on his hat would say.

Credit where credit is due, I suppose. They’ve all come through lime gelatin or sherbet, and yet their clothes look FABULOUS.

At last a book that combines my twin passions:18th century fashion and atomic weaponry!

Are those buttons or planets in the background?

@Tom Noir: Maybe the garments use nukes as decorations or something.
And, maybe this book does take place in space . . . with the fashions of the 18th century all the rage, including the utterly, utterly absurd ladies’ headwear. Boathead there would fit in pretty well at Versailles.

Alternate blurb to go with the cover:
“He was the King of the Pimps on the seedy streets of the future!”

Why does a book published in 1980 have such a 1940s cover? It looks like one of those paper doll film-star dress-up kits.
Make Tyrone Power Look Like A Dickhead. Price 75c.

@Tat: If I send you $1.50, can I get two? 😉

Intriguingly, my entire wardrobe is compelling me to check GSS three times per day, every day of the week. I wonder what this means…?

Just one request for clarification: Do they pack the punch of an atomic explosion individually, or only collectively? Like if they all punch something at the same time?…Oh, never mind…
