Finally a book I would read on the bus! That’s right everyone, stare at this awesome cover! Don’t pretend you’re looking out the window and avoiding eye contact.
@Dare23: Richard Dean Anderson was on a bus next to someone reading this and thought ‘damn! THAT’s what I want to be doing with my life. Screw McGyver.’
Too many years of SFBC let me know who was responsible for this.
@Makka: Reacting ineffectually — how’s he gonna shoot with his rifle in that position? I guess he’s a big Amon fan.
@JP: Maybe he’s laying a curse on the books that they’ll never be finished; they weren’t even started then. GRRM was still toiling in the TV mines in 1989.
Sadly, the big guns had long since been raided from the pyramids and we only know of their existence from hieroglyphs and traces of gunpowder and spent bullets.

The 80’s Bangles/Go Go’s fan interactions were intense. A Fortunato cover would be….interesting.

Birdman appears to be reacting to the Aten… part of the plot?

@makkapakka I think birdman is laying a curse GRRM for not finishing A Song of Ice and Fire.

As we all know, birds and cats are natural friends.

Gotta be from a Harry Turtledove story.

Most people think the crossover with Egyptian mythology episode was where GI Joe really jumped the shark.

Guns go BRRRR like an Egyptian?

This cover was better in conception that execution.

BTW, there actually _was_ a GI Joe Egyptian Gods episode, but sadly there were no scenes where Anubis [1] fired off an automatic weapon.

[1] Looks more like a cat than a dog, really, but the main Egyptian cat-gods were female IIRC.

Cover recycled from Tim Powers’ lesser-known novel THE ANUBIS GATS.

@GSSen Definitely outraged at the choice of solar deity :p “How DARE they? I’M the real sun god!”
