“Oh sure, it was out of order, but there was nothing wrong with the bloody stairs!”

Fancy that, exactly the same thing happened to me when I first experimented with transmutation! I much prefer science anyway.

An alien planet flares up in revolt at the threat of man’s ‘Civilization’…
BEING A TRUMP REPUBLICAN IN THE CITIES

Dammit. Beaten to the Trump joke by this much!

MC Hammer called. He wants his parachute pants back.

Spaceman Bob cops a cheap feel while pretending to “rescue” dangling space babe from vaguely Freudian menace.

“These Doc Marten™️ magnetic space boots are no good at all!”
“But hey, at least everybody knows we’re urban renegades!”

@Tom: Goodness, why does MC Hammer have your telephone number?

The squids are revolting! The squids are revolting!

Some real kerning issues with this cover typography. Somebody needs a better kerning learning curve.

@B’mancer: yes, and I blame Unknown Artist for the poor design choices.

eeh . . . Are those astronauts supposed to be floating in the air outside a space station, or did the artist screw up and put them on an invisible floor?
I vote for the latter. The “astronauts versus one-eyed squid” and the background that is apparently supposed to be buildings look like they’re from two separate images – and are ugly to boot!

The space-squid were always grumbling about the glass ceiling but the boiler-suited humans seemed happy with the status quo.

Before Photoshop it was much harder to tack together completely unrelated images and make it look like they were always part of the same picture.

‘How can you scale a wall wearing bulky space suit gloves and have a believable cover?’ the artist was asked by the publisher.

They’re clearly not in the cold vacuum of space, because their hands are completely uncovered. Which implies that, whatever is in the atmosphere against which they need those bubble helmets to protect their lungs, it’s no danger to their pores or epidermis.

Since I can’t find much of anything on the book’s contents, I’ll invent a cocktail instead.
ALCHEMIST OCTOPUS
In a pint glass, combine:
1/3 oz Hiram Walker Peach Schnapps
1/3 oz Beefeater Gin
1/3 oz Bacardi 151 Rum
Dash ice cold Jaegermeister
Top glass off with champagne. Can substitute bitters for Jaegermeister or Ginger Ale for champagne.

The artist just painted this at a weird angle. That cylinder is actually a giant steam roller.

“Oh dear lord, they’re still after us John! Give them the sausage already!”
“Never! Martha my dear, how can a man call himself a man if he is without sausages strapped to his back?”
“But John, your sausage isn’t particularly large, we could…”
“Sausage?”
“What?”
“You said sausage. Singular.”
“John! These one eyed tentacle beasts are..”
“Precisely. ”
“WHAT! PRECISELY WHAT!”
“You’re mocking my willie.”
“What the..the..are you..arrggh!”
“I’m going home to mother”

Shouldn’t the title read “ALIEN REVOLT” or something — rather than a title that sounds (and looks!) like a chemistry textbook for school children?
November 17th, 2016 at 1:47 pm
What are they walking on? Air? And being pursued by spicy fried squids?

Amateurs in Alchemy
Live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on a roll of cardboard
Oh, Lord, why can’t we?
