The Captain was Mr Snuffleupagus – the spaceship faced doom.

Incidentally – 1986? Is that date not about twenty years out?

Keeping my comment opera related I say this cover depicts my reaction to Godfather III.
A signed limited edition copy.

The wrap around cover on EBAY, which does not depict my reaction to Godfather III.

All I remember about Godfather Part III was noticing what a lot of fillings Al Pacino had in his silent scream at the end.
Anyway, I note the load of balls is a common factor in both these covers, @fred.

It looks like the artist has reused the canvas a few times.

Since I own this copy, I can tell you that the cover accurately depicts the contents of the book.

“In a heartening show of solidarity, bird-men and bald-men join forces to impotently shake their hands at hovering spaceship.”
The perspective on that spaceship looks…doubtful.

In Space no one can hear you singing Nessun Dorma. Which is just as well as archaeopteryx was not known for it’s fine tenor voice.

I don’t know if this is an attempt at expressive brushwork, but the background texture makes me think all of these figures, including the spaceship, are stuck inside a cave.

@BC: Archaeopteryx and the baldies (new band name) were just hanging around in their cave practicing their latest songs when a multi-balled drone buzzed in and interrupted them.
There’s another sentence I’d never have imagined myself writing before GSS.
@fred: I like that limited edition cover. Classy.
I don’t recall any reaction to Godfather III. Maybe I’ve never seen it.
@Ryan: yikes!

@GSS x-n: You’re in for a treat, Sofia thoroughly deserved her Oscar.

@THX—That is really funny. GSS for dry wit of the week!
