Mister Peabody comments: I’ll just blend in with this school of fish. He’ll never find me.
You might remember this from here.

Care to victimise any other endangered species? When he’s on land, does he ride a panda?

Shark muses thoughtfully: Hmmm. He forgot to include stirrups or any sort of safety straps. So I just need to do a barrel-roll and then… lunchtime!

Looks like a book I could really sink my teeth into.

W/o bubbles I am unconvinced this is underwater. Could be a foggy day at any random location.
The Ace Double Novel cover. I like the Cyclops style eyewear. If they continue swimming they’ll find out what Space Scotsman has under his kilt.

The blue man realized too late that he didn’t know how to drive a Barracuda with a stick shift.

The human goldfish somehow manages to have a goofier expression on his face than the fish he’s hiding among which has to merit some sort of award.

Where’s the city?

John Gregson regrets signing up for this aquatic sequel to ‘Genevieve’ – but not as much as Kenneth More does.

Sharks with frickin’ joysticks on their heads! (GSS, @Tor Mented)
One would think the fellow in back lighting him up with a spotlight would be rather noticeable, but a lot of Look Behind You protagonists are remarkably unobservant.
The blue fellow is probably a member of some sort of Undersea Race, but it’s hard to see if the chap in front has been somehow been modified for watery survival or just is really, really good at holding his breath.
@Bibliomancer: perhaps they’re in the less populated Sub-urbs?

Those fish really want that guy to get the frick away from them.

Dr. Evil: You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads!

You can tell shark man just had a good idea because of the light bulb going off in his head.

So you’re being chased by an armed shark-riding guy equipped with his own flashlight… and you turn your eyes and your weapon away from him. SMRT.
This is much more dull and less flashy than the other cover but that’s to be expected in both country and time period difference. Except I’m pretty sure there’s a shark-riding guy with a built in headlight in the book.
@fred: Good find, sir! Possibly the least-goofy cover this book ever got.

Is it just me, or does the foreground figure look like Adolf Hitler after a makeover, with a different hairstyle and no moustache?
@Fred: I hope he’s wearing something underneath, kilts not being very suitable for zero G conditions.

@Verylate: JoJo Shark?

I don’t think Adolf’s gams were ever that shapely.

@GSSxn: But after some time at the gym, a new hairstyle and losing the moustache, he’s like a new man. He’s feeling totally ubermensch and looking beach body ready.

@Vlttp: So that makes the guy on the fish Weisenthal? Could be!
