It’s a topsy turvy fantasy world where the women wear clothes! Outrageous! Original!

Everything about this cover suggests that the book is about transgender politics.

Lady Blade, Lord Fighter, Lovely Turritellas!

I had hoped for a wraparound cover so we could see what they’re so excited about, but there doesn’t seem to be one.

Do not go gentle wearing that green blouse;
Rage, Rage against the curtains in your house.

So Lady Blade, Lord Fighter will have to fight Lord Blade, Lady Fighter at some point?

Cillian Murphy revises his character in Breakfast on Pluto as he slips into the leather plants of Lady Blade!

EMCEE: Good evening, good evening ladies and gents. Tonight I’m as pleased as a ganymede goose to welcome to our small but sturdy stone stage that great comedy team—Lady Blade and Lord Fighter!!! They’ve just completed a two-week tour of the Pleiades circuit and are coming home to the kingdom. Let’s hear it for this fine and funny duo!
AUDIENCE: (applause)
LADY BLADE: Thank you, thank you. It’s great to be here again performing at the legendary Cavern Club, although, you know, Lord Fighter, I wasn’t too impressed with that intro, were you?
LORD FIGHTER: Actually, Lady Blade, I was very disappointed with it. Quite lame. What should we do about it?
LADY BLADE: Well, I’m just gonna run him through with this sword here (runs EMCEE through) that’ll show him!
AUDIENCE: (laughter)
HECKLER: Hey, why doesn’t Lady Blade take her shirt off like you?
LORD FIGHTER: Well, well, Lady Blade, I think we’ve got another candidate for that sword routine you just showed us. C’mon up here, sir, and get run through!!!
HECKLER: Okay. (comes onstage, gets run through).
LORD FIGHTER: Isn’t she great, ladies and gentlemen?
AUDIENCE: (laughter and applause)
LADY BLADE: You know, with the power of this sword, I just think I might be able to rule the kingdom!
LORD FIGHTER: Heh, heh, maybe then you’ll take your shirt off?
AUDIENCE: (wwoooooo . . .)
LADY BLADE: Watch it, Buster, or I’ll run YOU through.
AUDIENCE: (laughter)
LORD FIGHTER: Thanks folks, you’ve been a great crowd. We’ll be here all week, with a new EMCEE of course . . . and some new audience members!
AUDIENCE: (groans, laughter)
LADY BLADE: And maybe a new Lord Fighter!
AUDIENCE: (laughter, applause)

Dick Blade, you’re not fooling anyone!

‘Lady Blade’ suggests a pink-handled razor for ‘revealing your inner goddess’ and ought to by accompanied by ‘Venus’ (not the Shocking Blue original but the delightfully naff 80s hen-party hit by Bananarama).
‘Lord Fighter’ has gone for a change of image since they cancelled ‘Wander Over Yonder’.

Lady Blade looks like she just popped in from a ’70s music video, and is still dancing.
Lord Fighter needs to lose the bangs. They don’t suit him at all.
December 8th, 2016 at 5:35 pm
Lady Blade is what Theresa May thinks she looks like in those 995 quid leather trousers.
Lord Blade will soon collapse and turn back into Bill Bixby.

Those poor guys were just re-grouting the floor tiles when these two lunatics burst in and started slashing up the place.

I’m pretty sure that Boris Vallejo was really upset he missed the chance to paint this cover – we would have seen her sans puffy shirt,at the very least .
December 8th, 2016 at 11:41 pm
I do enjoy a good TING! and this is an embarrassment of riches. Or of something.
Lord Fighter there is obviously in the process of growing out his mullet; thus the bangs.

@MisterBob: I noticed a bit of a typo in your message, I think you mean:
‘I’m pretty sure that Boris Vallejo was really upset he missed the chance to paint this cover OVER’
like it was mould on the bathroom wall.

“Could she win the right to rule her kingdom by the power of her sword?”…I hate to tell you, Lady Blade, but Lord Fighter has a sword, too. Also, if you’re trying to win a kingdom away from this guy, why are you still wearing his bicep-sized wedding ring?
Come on, make up and be a team.

@ B. Chiclitz – Cutting-edge humor!
@ MisterBob – Boris Vallejo has the cover art ready to go if Baen wants to do a Lady Blade, Lord Fighter reprint.
December 9th, 2016 at 3:48 am
@GSS noob – Welcome to Good Show Sir! Nice to have some new talent to freshen up the humour here.
December 9th, 2016 at 6:32 am
Y’know, I think Lady Blade is wearing Lord Fighter’s shirt! That’s why it’s so large and ill-fitting and he’s shirtless.
@Tag Wizard: thanks!

@ Bibliomancer: Hasn’t that cover art suffered enough, being on the cover of the movie “Deathstalker II” and all? (if memory serves)
Also, I have a sneaking dread that the first (and most fun) interpretation of this title might be mis-parsed, and that the fellow is NOT named “Lord Fighter”…but that it is a book about “Lady Blade: she fights Lords (such that she can rule her kingdom vis-a-vis the power of her sword).” If true, that’s incredibly disappointing, because who wouldn’t want a character named “LORD FIGHTER”? He could totally team up with Sir Thief and Magnate Wizard on a truly epic dungeon crawl.

A GSS first: Lord Fighter is more buxom than Lady Blade.
December 11th, 2016 at 11:56 am
Could she win the right to rule with a blurb that makes a blatant appeal to fascism?
December 12th, 2016 at 1:11 pm
@vyrmis Now I will hear that music whenever I look at this cover. Maybe the best bit of Python ever 🙂
December 12th, 2016 at 2:20 pm
@carlmarksguy—there is no such thing as “suffering enough” on GSS!! 😉
Also, yes, that’s sort of the joke—she’s a lord fighter and he’s Lord Fighter!
Not quite marxist humor, but funny enough.
