Here is the high-res cover painting without text. Suitable for framing.

Goodness! Why did they crop the shocks and struts out of the building in the lower right corner?

Great, now I’m going to be haunted by nightmares of men with huge red left hands with the fingers melted together. Years of therapy.
THANKS GSS

Bright green and red colour scheme:✔ Snow:✔ Was this originally painted for Santa Claus Conquers the Martians?

It’s like the Ghana film poster for Krull, only 1000% less awesome.

Try saying “Who ruled the neutral world?” aloud, it isn’t easy.

British writers working for the Yankee Dollar tended to slip in weird in-jokes to wrongfoot the editors at Ace but I don’t think Brunner mentioned that the screaming damsel was played by Dinah Sheridan.

@Tat: stars of the silver screen week? Good show, sir! 🙂

What the hell is it with space heroes and riding breeches.

There’s something wrong with both that man’s hands. And his lady friend’s feet.
That’s probably why the green space vampire woman looks so appalled.

I would have figured it would take more cleavage than that to split the cleavage tag in two. Or maybe it’s more of a cumulative thing and this is the cleavage that broke the camel’s back?

@Anna T.— With him it’s a classic case of bighanditis (don’t we have a tag for that?). Her feet are ok, but her shoes are at least four sizes too large. Probably why she can’t walk but has to be carried.

Is that a period (full stop) after the word “ruled” or a random star trying to masquerade as punctuation?

Her mother’s ghost screams from the beyond:
“No! You could do so much better than him! You should have married a doctor!”

@Yoss – Fixed it.
But now your comment makes no sense! 🙂

@BC – If fact, we have a confluence of tags: bigbusyhanditis
September 21st, 2017 at 7:16 pm
@ Tag Wizard – I can accept that. Whenever I notice a continuity error, I naturally assume it’s because a wizard did it.

@TW: Richard Scarry’s Best Bigbusyhanditis Ever was the one that finally did him in. 🙁

This doesn’t look much like a sanctuary to me. Neither does the sky, what with it being full of giant green screaming face.
The damsel is not wanting any of it.
Is his gun a blow dryer, an airbrush, or an air horn? Or a super-strength laser toilet plunger?
@fred: Good question. Riding breeches are so impractical when you’re in spaceships, not cavalry.

“Eeek! A mouse in a spaceship!”

Maybe he’s carrying her because A) her shoes are too big and B) the breeches imply that there’s a horse around somewhere, leaving horse poop he doesn’t want her to step on.

The dots in the background are messing up the text. It seems to read:
Who ruled. The neutral world?
SANCTUARY IN THE SKY.
(Should be read in your best William Shatner voice.)

Does he have a plumber’s friend mounted on a gun stock?

@Dead Stuff: in case of Daleks.

Lucy thought her sister’s “Space Themed” wedding was going to be entertaining to say the least, but when the eccentric wedding planner showed her the shaved head and big eyebrow look for the bridesmaids, she was having none of it!

I shall never forget watching a couple of young folks trying to re-enact this, and failing because even flexible late-teens/early 20s people cannot be in this position and had to be photoshopped.

“Who ruled the neutral world?”
I’ll put $50 on “vampire pickle people”, Bob.

@GSSxn: I remember your post about those cover recreations because I enjoyed it so much.
