Roxette are taking their middle of the road pop to the next level.

Given how accurately the Mustang is rendered, I’m going to have to assume that everything on this cover actually happened precisely as depicted.

It’s a shame Mercedes & Larry didn’t collaborate with Lackey Dixon more often.

A dragon and a lady Targaryen. Is this self published ASOFAI fan fic?

@Lillie Awesome: They collaborate all the time. They’re a couple: Mercedes & Larry Lackey-Dixon.

WITNESS US!!!
(Please?)
Yeah, a crowbar. That’ll take a dragon right out…
Is that a lich, a witch, or a lich witch?
Dragons, hot Elf babe with electrical neon magic, skull-faced villain, hot rod, tattooed bleached blond with machine gun, sunglasses, “we know Japanese stuff”…this cover really wants to be taken as piping hot nerd junk-food, doesn’t it?

Captain Redjacket was displeased with the bead on his latest attempt at TIG welding, so he selected a medium crowbar to tear it apart before he began again.

Everything in moderation: I imagine my thigh-slapping gag will materialise soon.

@Tag Wiz: I’m betting this also deserves the tags “shiny” and “embossed”. Seriously, with a title containing the word chrome, and the way this came out in the photo, and the publisher, ain’t no way they didn’t make that reflective. And dude definitely has a mullet. And cleavage everywhere.
Let’s run down the list, shall we?
Big gun: check
Boobs: check
Shiny title: check
Blue and orange: check
Dragon: check
Humanoid animal: check
More boobs: check
Implausible armor: check
Explosion or lightning: check
Terrible, cluttered random art composition: check
It’s peak BAEN!(seeabovelist)
It only lacks a spaceship, which I guess the car is taking the place of.
Is the dude a big fan of Original Flavor Battlestar Galactica? His jacket says so. Are the shades so he looks cool, or to keep from being blinded by the rest of the cover?
@Bruce: I’m only surprised it’s as late as 1999 — it looks like Everything Eighties to me.
@Tat: fear not, the cover is funny enough as-is.

It’s a necks-a-stretchin’ extravaganza with a mishmash of pop culture rip-offs.
And is that lady guiding a plane or dragon to the gate?

@JP—I think “necks-a-stretchin’ ” would make a good complement to “skulls-a-poppin’ “

I just now showed this to Mr. xn.
So at first his lips just moved silently, and then he said “The jacket… it’s Battlestar” and when I asked him to estimate which year or decade it was printed, he instantly said “The 80’s” with great confidence, and when I said 1999, he said “Out of date tropes!”
I mean, original BSG was off the air for nearly 20 years before this “artwork” was printed.
I think it could best be described a la the “Stefon” character from SNL. “This cover has EVERYTHING!”

All right, I’ll do it a day late, from memory:
This is a ‘Look-In’ cover from 1992, with Violet Berlin, Michael Bolton, ‘Knightmare’ and a minor character from ‘Count Duckula’. I bet it’s Dominik Diamond driving the car and Gaz Top dressed as a dragon
There, that was worth moderating..

Hot rods and high magic and grumpy old dragons and Star Fox rule!

A rare STAR FOX tie-in, which sadly did not lead to more Nintendo-related book releases.
