Click for larger imageTat Wood Comments: I can’t come up with anything more damning than the blurb (crummy punctuation and all):
Post-Holocaust Paris is a pretty seedy stand-in for the original, but what can you expect when the government’s main aim is Orgasm Prevention, and when the national hero is wandering around in Nowhen…
But things are changing! Rumor hs it that the Timetraveler is coming back. In a few months. At which point, Time itself will come to an end…

This is the kind of doctor who will inscribe his initials on your liver.
Looks a lot older than 2004, though.

@THX – You’re right. Date fixed and summer intern fired.

The rest of the title was, of course, “won’t keep Dexter away” but the editor decided the cover was skeevy enough as it is.

First published in 1960. Not the original title, it appears, which was The Day of Timestop. Perhaps a clue there as to the demographic they were after in 1980?

“A woman a day keeps the doc in med-bay?”

The medallion would suggest 3.14 women a day.

What’s with that pretentious little left-hand pinkie there holding the scalpel? Maybe we need a “pretentious pinkie” tag.

It’s the hetero’s Rocky Horror Picture Show.
“I’ve been making a woman, with brown hair and big bosom…”

This is simply pathetic. In just about every way, including title, art, nonsensical blurb. Feh.

That spelling mistake in the blurb makes me cringe.
As does the misogynistic title, which apparently isn’t even the original.

A prime example of the “Serial Killers Are Our Target Audience” school of cover design.
Now excuse me for a moment, I’m feeling ill…
