His unearthly power could destroy the earth – was there no one on earth to stop him from destroying the earth with his unearthly earth destroying power? Unless the earth in the title isn’t the earth but someone named Earth who needs to be made aware of his unearthly power to destroy the earth so Earth can save the earth from his unearthly earth destroying power.
I am suddenly struck by a force of doglike power of which I am unaware of anything else so unearthly on Earth but it is telling me to give credit to Tag Wizard for the comic genius of the alt-text he adds to the cover—every day!
My first thought: “WTF. And dafuq is he standing on?” I was so confused by the whole thing I couldn’t even tell he was behind it. It ruined my sense of perspective.
Could the redhead be the one to stop him? She doesn’t look too bright.
@RachelJ, your attention please: I was just reading a sorta-generic fantasy quest book when up popped a couple pages of CANNIBAL MERMAIDS. Threatened to eat the whole party, regardless of species, except for the handsome blond boy, who they had other plans for.
Note the fine print: “Original Title: Of Godlike Power.”
So some genius/rocket scientist/Nobel Prize Winner decided that “Earth Unaware” was a more selling title than “OF… GODLIKE… POWER.”
“How about… ‘He Walked Like a God?’”
“Nope.”
“Or… ‘Of Godlike Power’?”
“Awful.”
“Okay… what about ‘The Man Who Would Destroy The World’?”
“Are you nuts? This cover just screams… ‘EARTH UNAWARE’!! Print that.”
“Destroying the world will be quite a task: how will you do it, may I inquire to ask?”
“I will do it with my spear and magic loincloth!”
“Your spear and magic loincloth??”
“Spear and magic loincloth!”
Another confusing blurb. If it’s an unearthly power, does that mean that the world that could be destroyed is not the Earth, despite Earth being unaware? It sure would make sense for a unearthly power to exist elsewhere than Earth, and then Earth would have no reason to be aware of it, right?

What the dickens is he standing behind?And why is he leading her towards it, when she’s likely to trip and sprain her ankle?

“His unearthly power could destroy the world!”
It’s just an old man with a spear. I think the world is gonna be OK.

Avert your eyes, if you can. Speedo-Man. His unearthly undies could destroy the world.

I’m getting major “nightclub” vibes here. Ginger over there looks like she’s trying to get Barbarian Loincloth to dance.

@Tat Wood – No one ever gives me credit for the comic genius of the alt-text I add to the cover every day.

@Tag Wizard: I tried to scroll it and the thing just enlarged. Missus.

– “Is that a loincloth you’re wearing?”
– “Depends.”

The text seems to imply that the only one who could stop “him” is Mack Reynolds… our savior!

So, she’s gazing off in a random direction. After devoting my not-inconsiderable brainpower to the problem, I’ve hit on several possible explanations:
1) She honestly thinks it’s a surprise birthday party and is wondering where everyone else is.
2) Mother is calling him from offstage left, and he’s trying not to notice.
3) She’s identified his wig as an alien parasite.
4) She’s convinced he’s actually Ricardo Montalban, but is struggling with just what to say.
5) She’s trying to make out the blurb from up underneath it.
6) She’s passed gas but is trying to play it off.

“Destroy the world with his unearthly power”?

Right?

He got a 30% discount on his wig by purchasing a matching merkin at full price.
