Done! Off to the pub.

“SCIENCE FICTION” is written in a font called Seizure Sans.

A vivid illustration of the dangers of using too much Axe Bodyspray(tm).

Who’s up for a game? 🙂 I’ll go first.
I spy with my little eye something that begins with…W! Go on, have a guess.

Behold, The Popeil Art Deco Arts and Crafts Dual Hal 9000 Destroyer/compost bin for the ecologically minded eradicator.

You know, I’ve never seen a space helmet that had been thrown on a pottery wheel before this morning, so I guess my horizon has been expanded, which is nice.

“I will kill you, Atreides.”
“Look down, we would have joined each other in death.”

@7: Whereas I’ve never seen an earthworm sporting a legitimate WTF?! expression on its “face”.

So who came up with the idea of using a bowling ball as a handle on a dagger? He’s about to fall over backward from the weight.
April 6th, 2017 at 3:22 pm
I like the pensive hand-on-chin expression of the possibly dead woman. Her final thought: “Hmmmm, a bowling ball on a dagger. Interesting design. Aaarrrgggh!!!”

Anyone got any idea as to the (probably unimpressive) symbolism of the giant skull?
I mean, he looks like a barbarian from the savage post-apocalyptic world where people fight with weapons that look like office supplies. The world as imagined by Michael Scott, that is.

The artist is a master of vision and suspense! Whom will skinny Trump stab with his bowling dagger of savage twittery? The screaming man, which symbolizes the horrified populace? The arrogant TING of the Freedom Caucus? Or Willie the one-eyed wonder worm, representing Trump’s own failing libido?

I’m pretty sure, this is what you see inside if you open up …
an Amstrad Emailer !
… and it plays Danse Macabre,over and over.

@JuanPaul—I love a good allegory. But what does the pensive-possibly-dead girl represent? Perhaps Ivanka, Mistress of the Night?
April 6th, 2017 at 5:14 pm
@bc definitely Ivanka, and I think the guy behind her is Paul Ryan, patting Trump’s bum.
April 6th, 2017 at 6:59 pm
Ah! THX got it at 9! Good show, sir!

Is someone or something not very good at writing blurbs?

This may be Charles Moll’s magnum opus, considering his other works that have appeared on this site.

This cover really has very little suggestion of sf. It resembles a cheesy nineteen seventies sleazy murder-thriller: they joined the cult of the death-worm, now the killing starts.

The stabber’s not Tr*mp, though — he’s yelling over on the far right, see? It’s a perfect likeness! I think that’s Ivanka and her equally useless husband on the left, and perhaps we’re seeing the future warped psyche of the youngest boy, who is the chap with the impractical weapon and a whole lotta family issues.
WTF is the top of the “space helmet” made of? The engine cover of a 70’s VW and an overgrown Ting?
(3) B’mancer: we also would have accepted “Astigmatism Sans”.
Wow, that artist really did have some repeated motifs regardless of the book, didn’t he?
April 7th, 2017 at 3:36 pm
This is some achievement. A cover that manages to be WTF incomprehensible and boring at the same time.
April 25th, 2017 at 4:40 pm
Okay, I’m going to ignore everything else on this cover–the mega push pin, the skull, the symbolic annelid, the incomprehensible space helmet, etc.–to focus on two things:
1) Who is the “our” in the blurb? The community of people on terrible book covers?
and 2) Does not one usually conquer BEFORE possessing? Or is this a case of possession being 9/10 of the law?
