We all had that teacher… the one who’d come in with her bra around her head… well… we all wanted that teacher… instead we got Father McDermot who was always drunk and shouting racial slurs.
@Tom: Could also be old-school headphones, or really large earmuffs — though considering the lack of clothes, it isn’t cold weather. Maybe she has them on to drown out the sound of her Ting! Or whatever noise Rakehells make. Is she the Fize of the Rakehells?
@Ray (3): Kirilian. Only way to get the glow. Fuzz. Flagella.
GSS to everyone — quite a wide variety of snark today, gang! Appropriate for a cover painted on black velvet and LSD.
If The Rakehells of Heaven were like the “Restoration rakes” of the reign of Charles II (English Restoration period, 1660-1682), that must be some book!
Per Wikipedia’s article about the “Merry Gang”, “(h)ighlights of their careers include Sedley and the Earl of Dorset preaching naked to a crowd from an alehouse balcony in Covent Garden, as they simulated sex with each other….” That’s Sir Charles Sedley and Charles Sackville, 6th Earl of Dorset, by the way.

Anyway… I do love penguin sci fi covers.

Raking is indeed hell, but even heaven has to prevent forest fires.

I’m certain this cover was painted on velvet.

I can’t even begin to guess which (combination of) drug(s) was responsible for this.

That’s not “glow”. That’s “fuzz”.
December 19th, 2018 at 5:34 pm
That’s not “fuzz”, it’s “flagella”. I bet she moves as gracefully as a protozoa.

Not that I’d know about these things, but is she trying the pencil test?

Judging by this picture, Peter Cross must have really liked the sail barge scenes in ROTJ, amirite?
@BC (6): 3 years later, I still think you’re right.
@fred: So much for “heartland real ‘Muricn values”.

So (looks in dictionary) dissolute, libertine, debauched angels? Cover seems to fit.
