Are you sure this wasn’t an Ayn Rand book and that’s a train? With, er, a face?
Otherwise, if ever there was a more apt author/title match up…

That’s not Satan, that’s Xenu. Time for a new tag, Tag.

“Little does this smug clown know that I, Satan, can turn my finger into a straw and suck up all his chardonnay. Now there’s a victory for you! Nyah-hah-hah-hah . . . .!”

Dear sweet mercy, there are as many vanishing points in that illustration as there are infernal names. I could use a stiff drink myself.

This must be Satan’s personal drinking game, knocking one back whenever he appears on a crap cover.

Pardon me boy, is that the champagne ogre choo-choo?

Yes, yes, track six-six-six.

The women on these covers always seem to be desperately seeking a way out.

Questions: Why does the fancy car have a figurehead stolen from an 18th-century warship? Why is there a red devil guy floating in the air?
Is the artist alright after having to paint a cover for a book written by THIS guy?

@Tat, Tor—good one-two combo.

This title/author combo is just too easy, innit? This is one of Ron’s works from beyond the grave, so p’raps the Satan imagery is exact.
Damifino why Roger Moore’s stand-in is sipping wine with Satan while they’re standing by a… vehicle (that’s as far as I’m going to go in specifics) that has a ridiculous figurehead face.
And as @Lillie said, the excess vanishing points are also hellish.
PLUS shiny embossing, a WTF font, and a banner of approval. So close to a shuriken.
@Tat, Tor — Good Show, Sirs!

Satan’s undecided whether to go for “Smell my finger” or “Pull my finger”.

@GSS ex-noob: I should have added “Boy, you can row to the Styx.”

It took me a while to figure out what the pointing arrow was connected to.
February 16th, 2018 at 11:16 pm
@B’mancer: I’m not entirely sure it’s connected. It’s just hanging there, not pointing to anything in particular. You’d think Satan would do something more interesting with his tail.
Man and demon both are a bit Smirky McSmug. And I just now realized the man’s tie is square-cut at the bottom, which we don’t have a tag for but I wanted to point out how stupid that is. I don’t think that was even an 80s/90s thing.

@GSS x-n: Knitted tie, I’m saying.

How many of you thought the dots on the letters i were headlights on the ogre choo choo?
They made me look twice.

@THX: Ack. I’d blocked those out of my memory, but yes. It all came rushing back to me.

The race for the next Republican presidential candidate to replace Trump quickly narrowed down to two contenders: A demon without conscience… and the guy with the horns.
