Brings new meaning to the idiom “bullet-head”.

Must be a hippie, they’re the only ones who wear sandals over stockings.

Flip-flops, cape, helmet… Let’s hit the beach!

Oh, and bravo, TW, for the subtle variation in the Terminator tag…

That’s a nice costume. And who are you supposed to be?
(And aren’t you a little old to be trick-or-treating?)

Needs a six-gun on the right hip, a black cowboy hat, and Morricone music.

New Dallas Cowboys running back causes a stir.

@fred—Not sure what good a six gun would do since he seems to have no arms (unless those little pipe stems behind his back are what passes for arms). He’s got a heck of a sternum, though.

Two years later: “You know, these covers are so ridiculous someone should make a show about them. Maybe make it a musical.”

He looks all cool and imposing now, sure, but you just know his cape is going to get all tangled around his tubular metallic sandal garters the minute he tries to walk anywhere, and it’s going to be all sorts of fuss and bother, and he’s going to regret picking that combination from his closet the entire day.

Meh. I’ve been to Texas.
This cover isn’t nearly weird enough.

Everything about Texas is big. The moon usually isn’t that big, though.

I tried sending this but my camera broke. I don’t know if this is causally related.
To be fair, it is at least something described in the book.

Proof that the old saying is wrong: You CAN be too beautiful, too rich and especially too thin.

It would seem that whoever built this man his exoskeleton thing neglected to add arms. How odd.
November 1st, 2017 at 4:09 pm
@Anna T.—that was my first thought too, but it’s possible those tiny tubes are his arms clasped behind his back. I don’t know what’s creepier, his having no arms or his having those arms. Looking again, if those are indeed what passes for arms, it adds an air of smugness to his pose. Even creepier.

Texas is even bleaker than I imagined.

‘Shake ‘is ‘and. ‘E’s ‘armless.’

A spectre is haunting Texas… the fear that Bush Sr. will grab your ass if you stand next to him.
After that, the Devil went down to Georgia.
No arms to wield arms — seems very unTexan. Or if they exist, they’re mighty tiny, also unTexan.
And I’m with @Lillie on the impracticality (not to mention fancy-pantsness) of the outfit. Why’s he dressed all European count/opera goer instead of in a cowboy hat, boots, and such?
I would read this book, but not with this cover.

Here’s a Texan who comes with his own stirrups.

Future Texas looks like a hellscape.
November 2nd, 2017 at 1:15 am
@Raoul: “future”? You’ve never been to Fort Worth, have you?
November 2nd, 2017 at 1:34 am
@DSWBT: Try Odessa. Makes Ft. Worth look like April in Paris.
@Tor: hee. He should give some to the poor witch on the last book.

Whoa, this is still standing at #2 on the all-time list! Above Bearsuit Woman, Sasquatch Girlfriend, Stovetop Boobs, Nazi Gnomes and the rest.
A Spectre Is Haunting The Top Ten.
November 5th, 2017 at 10:00 pm
STILL at #2?! Wonder who’s voting it up. Sure, it’s bad, but nowhere near Bearsuit Turkey Leg Woman?
