C’mon, you must know that old phrase, “Green with fear”?

He seems very concerned about the safety of that little badger. What a sweet guy.

No way that’s Bezos. That rocket is nowhere near phallic enough to be one of his.

Back cover. “This is more than a breath-taking, suspense-packed Science Fiction story.” Pink Jeff seems all breath-taken with that suspense-packed sentence.

I don’t think this man would enjoy living in the vicinity of Cape Canaveral at all.

@Fred – Either the good people at Badger really want to be sure that we readers don’t miss the theme, or they couldn’t be bothered to write a whole back cover’s worth of copy, and just included some of the author’s manuscript submission cover letter; I’m not sure which.

Your face would be melting too if you stood that close to a rocket launch.

Fred’s blurb gives the game away: they’ve noticed that briefly-fashionable wunderkind philosopher Colin Wilson was veering from being Britain’s home-grown Sartre (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outsider_(Colin_Wilson)) to writing books about space-vampires. This is obviously a spoiler: they’re trying to pitch it as Camus-with-ray-guns.

“God, what a fashion disaster. The color of that rocket clashes horribly with the color of my face!”

“My God! Did I remember to turn the stove off before we launched?”

Did Badger publish anyone else apart from Father Lionel? Or was he so prolific they didn’t need to?

“Oh noes! Humanity is ignoring my teachings (perhaps because I look like a mascot for a olive wholesaler) and shooting more phallic rockets into space! The space-vaginas won’t be happy at all!”

I always wondered what the Mekon would look like in a less constricting T-shirt.

The Man From Beyond looks like he has a lot of anxiety. I don’t think we should accept his teachings.
Despite his skin color, the chap is well-rendered; the cover may be better than the writing. That rocket’s the closest Badger ever got to a Hugo.
@THX: I wondered that too. In which case they really ought to have given Rev. F a piece of the company. A look at Wiki shows they had one other chap who wrote even more than he did!

Yeah, green guy, the first time is always a surprise.

Maybe he’s looking for the man from Bed, and the one from Bath?
(I’ve been to Bath, and now I’m going to bed.)
