Although Mr Flying Tie (how does that work – is the wind blowing both ways ) looks more like Clark Gable so maybe it’s actually an epic historical romance (in space).
What _are_ those things on his shoulders? Air tanks (the tubes are too thin?) Rocket pack (to fly out of this lousy cover?) Combat salami?
@Francis Boyle: perhaps it’s a super-science self-moving tie? Sort of like Spawn’s cape, strangling his enemies?
One would think the guy running with the girl through the futuristic city/giant test tube collection would be the protagonist, but he seems rather too formally dressed [1] for a Death Zone, while our jet pilot suited gentleman, glowering down gigantically from above, looks like the heavy.
[1] and rather non-futuristically dressed for the city: gives the running duo something of a “people from our time find themselves in a threatening future” vibe.
No wonder they’re running away — the Death Zone made him grow to a gargantuan size! Luckily for modesty, so did his uniform and shoulder-mounted Tactical Hot Dogs.
I mean, a giant looming grumpy guy or the smooth lounge tunes of Dean Martin — it’s an easy choice. Or the roguish charm of Tony Curtis, whichever.
@Bruce: those aren’t tubes on his shoulders. They’re electrical wires so he can cook the Tactical Processed Meat whenever he gets a bit peckish.

And I just noted the woman’s skirt is doing a Marilyn so maybe the wind is really confused just like anyone who picked this book up in 1964.

As far as crap Tony Curtis sf/fantasy movies go, this doesn’t look to be anywhere near as fun as The Manitou.

With boobies on his shoulders, people will be lining up to give him neck massages.

It’s obvious he is carrying a couple of canisters of laughing gas to help him to turn his frown upside down.
