The way things are going, this will be one uneventful book.

At the Jurassic dino-races races the fashions on the field were even more insane than they are today.

Did he just pee on that wall?

That afro on the snake just looks silly.

@Fred That particular snake is known as a frobra.

What? Not silly enough to be a python?

They’ve broken the cardinal rule of retitling: never give the game away and say it’s a retitled book/film or you’ll lessen the chance of it being bought twice by the same person.

And in case you didn’t know, today is National Dance Like a Chicken Day. Well played, GSS.

It was thoughtful of them to put the information about the original title in parenthesis, I guess so we wouldn’t think it was part of the blurb. And it adds so much style to the overall design!

Are we sure the original title wasn’t The Book of Ptass?

Original Title: The World of Null-Ass

Blurb, simplified:
“There’s some time travel, and battles, and this dude who rules.”

The exciting tale of a man with an observatory for his head and the chicken-woman who loved him.

The blurb makes no sense, as so often happens here. He was created to rule the world, but had trouble just surviving in it? Whaa? Must have time-traveled improperly.
At least this title makes more sense than the previous one.
Snake woman has a proper 1971 ‘fro.
@JP: bravo for “frobra”, though that could also refer to a very poufy undergarment.
@BC (10), @B’man (11): GSS!
@Bruce: make it “a naked man” and it’s perfect. He sure couldn’t pull any shirt over that giant observatory noggin. Butt (ha! typo and I’m leaving it!) he’s standing between the frobra and the chick(en) for protection, so it must be love.

I can think of better tributes to the late Betty Wright…

The publishers of ‘2000AD’ thought the year was far away enough to sound futuristic for as long as they were in print. – A.E. Van Vogt isn’t going to make the same mistake.
