Good Show Sir Comments: Our colleague over at pulpfiles has a new Liberator of Jedd book review up and, Holy Space Sheep, the French sure know how to do a Dick Blade cover! Thanks again to pulpfiles for bringing this new cover awfulness to our attention.
Published 1976
You might remember this from here. And here.

Dick has lost a lot of weight. He looks like the before example in an old Charles Atlas ad.

How can she sleep on a cover like this? Is she stunned?

Sorry. Just not enough not-so-subtle homo-eroticism.
There are rules for these things: the woman goes at the back you non-sex-underderstanding Frenchies.

I imagine everyone is spending a lot of time looking at her hat, wondering how it can stand up so perky and pointy in the zero-g of space.

Points for scientific accuracy, if your head were emitting microwaves it would be glowing white too!

Did the publishers save money by having the illustrator omit limbs?
March 31st, 2017 at 3:34 pm
To be fair there a more legs on display here than a Daily Mail front page. Feet not so much. Isn’t there a “feet are hard” tag?

She has Ting! on the blade, on the hat, on the earrings, on the crotch armor. All she is missing is nipple Ting!
And why does Gerard de “Presenteur” get top billing and triple the font size of the title and author?

@Francis: there should be, if there isn’t.
March 31st, 2017 at 4:18 pm
@TW: and if you’re adding tags, any cover that looks like it was programmed by a Rastafarian deserves the ‘font problems’ tag. 😉

The most shocking thing about this cover is that Blade is actually wearing some clothing. Sure, it’s just a loincloth/swim trunks, but it’s actual clothing nonetheless.

@DS – I believe that BLADE font is called “Checkbook Routing Code”

I think the girl is playing dead so Dick Blade will leave her alone and go away.
On the other hand, it might just get him more excited.

My sensors detect we are experiencing
Danger! Must tag!

Why does Jedd need liberating? Is Beverly Hills that bad? Et le titre me coupe profondement!

Il y a une cinquième dimension au-delà de ce qui est connu de l’homme. C’est une dimension aussi vaste que l’espace et aussi intemporelle que l’infini. C’est le milieu entre la lumière et l’ombre, entre la science et la superstition, et c’est entre la fosse des peurs de l’homme et le sommet de sa connaissance. C’est la dimension de l’imagination. C’est une zone que nous appelons … La zone Dick Blade.
(If that’s terrible French, blame Google translate)

That is one fancy merkin!

@Tom Noir – Looks bulletproof. But is it Blade-proof?

Dick’s not buff enough, or nekkid enough. Lord L would never choose a guy built like this to grease up. And he’s not touching the unconscious woman or holding a primitive weapon. And no apes?
Eye-popping as les moutons d’espace may be, I feel this cover artist hasn’t quite grasped the essence of Blade (ahem ahem) as well as the two English-language artists did.
Still, many points to pulpfiles for finding this! And for surviving reading the actual horrific book.

@Bibliomancer I feel sure that Blade can penetrate any defence.
April 1st, 2017 at 4:06 pm
@JP: this is why ‘armed’ and ‘dangerous’ are two different entities.
April 1st, 2017 at 5:43 pm
It seems to me that all the Dick Blade covers have surprisingly short…blades.

Just what is French for ” In Space No One has Knee Pads ” ?

Did anyone else notice that this is dynamically indexed page 12345?

@DSWBT – No. But I did notice you were comment #766759.

@BM: Sweetness!

@TagWizard: of course Dick has fonTing!
September 6th, 2017 at 1:43 am
Not to mention nippleTing! (which is not a Thing!)
September 6th, 2017 at 1:59 am
nippleTing!? That makes my heart sing!
