“TEN THOUSAND YEARS!!! Can give you such a limited choice of wardrobe.”

It also means having to make do with scarfs that haven’t been properly exorcised but then I suspect just about everything in that cover is inhabited by a djinn or two.

Much as I enjoyed Caroline Munro’s turn in ‘At the Earth’s Core’, I don’t think she could have worn so heavy a hat unaided. Doug McClure might have…

The filmy scarf behind her held aloft by the power of last night’s curry.

The artist has a lot of talent, but some aspects of the cover leave me confused.
Does Caroline Munro have a fly wing coming out of her left shoulder? Or is that the turban of a man who seems to be wearing a blindfold? He’s right above Bette Midler dressed as a flapper.

Not bosomy enough for Caroline Munro, but I think Doug McClure wouldn’t have complained.

@fred:
So, time machines in this world when they break down work like the ones in Larry Niven’s Svetz stories? Take you to the Fantasy Past [1] rather than the real one?
Possibly that explains the outfit.
[1] Although is it the fantasy of the Arabian Nights as imagined by actual medieval Arabs, or the fantasy as imagined by 20th century white dudes?

Random Skull is Random.
@Tor Mented: it’s a turban, and he’s not wearing a blindfold. If you look at the large version of the picture, he appears to be kissing Bette Midler on the forehead.

@3 Fred, if the model for that cover was a 15-year-old girl, I will eat any one of the (at least nine) hats portrayed on said cover.

I should just note that I can’t relate to Timenapper stories. I’m more of a nap-timer.

The wind seems to be blowing in three directions at once judging by (1) her hair (2) the chiffon-y cape and (3) the green smoke from the bottle. At the same time, judging by the oil lamp, it is perfectly still. Portents of deep meaning, or just more fruits of the UAI curriculum?

So Caroline’s wearing harem pant?
This artist missed the whole idea of proportioning. All that black space while the incredibly detailed “everyone else and stuff” is jammed into that small space.
@Bruce: I had to look again to figure out you’re right about the guy kissing Bette. I thought his turban was maybe a bad piece of sushi?
And this cover has everything else on it, why not a skull?
@BC: Djinns.

Come on! This is not a bad cover.
(Though the author might have complained that his name was too small…?)
