If that’s what I think it is, no wonder Adolf only kept one if the other was glowing.

Harry Potter and the Messiah Stone. The messiah stone was a mythical substance said to turn unlimited sequels into gold.

One ting to rule them all.

What is it? The last viagra left on earth?

‘Aquarius mission’ – it didn’t hold water.
Also, “Call in the jets! There’s something holding on to my leg!”

Just like a glowing Shin Godzilla, we are about to get plasma beams shooting out of unexpected body parts.

“But honey, the tailor said you dress left, and well, er, I think there are some unwanted side effects to that radioactive stone.”

Ahh, the old pulp-fiction “damsel clings to hero’s leg”. How delightfully sexist.
I really have to wonder, though: how many book covers are there here that invoke Hitler and his ilk? I can’t imagine it’s that many.
Also, I have no interest whatsoever in owning anything that used to belong to a Nazi. Because there’s something really disturbing about that.

@Anna T.: I’m not sure if Demi Moore is clinging to his leg. It looks like she’s preparing to do a judo move.

@Anna, Tor: It looks as though his leg came off and she’s holding it in place until the glue dries.

The Messiah Scone
“No wafer for me, thanks, and no wine either, I’ll just have the scone and some tea, then watch myself transform into the body and blood of Jesus.”

She doesn’t look at all happy about it. Trying to keep him from deploying it, about to run away to the guys in the background hoping they’ll rescue her?
Or is it that it really is what @THX suggested in (1) that’s caused the look on her face?
Or just that she’s a woman stuck on a BAEN!pew pew rat a tat tat, thumpa thumpa cover?

It’s KhaaaAAAAAN!

Those helicopters are really neatly pointed in the same direction. Maybe they have some sort of Blue Angels-type aerial act.
So what happened with Hitler? Did he accidentally flush it down the toilet in ’42?

@B.C.: The Messiah Scone ought to be an Ace Double with Food of the Gods.

I’m really on the side of anyone who’s against scary glowy fake-ab Ting! man.
Also, if anyone needed to look at the tags to determine the publisher, they haven’t spent enough time on GSS.
Is the title embossed or just pointlessly shiny in hideous font?
@Tor: Messiah Scone. Food of the Gods. Fruit Spread and Topping of the Deities. It could be a whole series, and then a spinoff series involving holy beverages.

Just as long as it isn’t food of the Elder Gods, or we might have
THE SCONE THAT CAME TO SARNATH.

@Tor M 17—Keeping the thread alive, I mean, undead , , , GSS!
July 11th, 2018 at 6:55 am
BC: A quick google shows that the “X that came to Sarnath” meme has now infected at least 11 pages on this site (not counting the original page and this one). That proves something but I’m damned if I know what.
July 11th, 2018 at 2:21 pm
@Longtime_Lurker—It might prove we all need to get a life, or, more deeply, perhaps with this meme we have truly stumbled upon an incantation, a magic formula that transmutes any page into an homage to Bokrug the Detestable, perhaps we’ve found the linguistic equivalent of
THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE THAT CAME TO SARNATH.
July 13th, 2018 at 2:31 am
There’s no escaping Elder Gods anywhere, or puns on GSS. Thus our creeping tribute to Bokrug. The whole site will eventually become
THE GRAY GOO THAT CAME TO SARNATH.

I cannot stay silent any longer.
It’s way past time that we SPEAK UP about the BLATANT sexual harassment of males on book covers like these!
