Ryan Comments: Forget mastery of the planet, our hero needs to master the use of either a belt or suspenders.

If he has to hear Let It Go one more time, he won’t be responsible for his actions.

Once you realize it’s there, it’ll stay in your head all day.

Keith Laumer, Clifford Simak, Daniel Keyes, F.L.Wallace and Allen Kim Lang all paid to have their names removed from this cover.

Answer to the cover question: Until his crack freezes over!

The planet ain’t the only thing that’s frozen.
Re: the blurb: if your world is already dominated and invaded (and frozen?), that means you ipso facto don’t have mastery of the universe. So the answer is “Sometime in the past”.
@fred: Too late. I’d already thought of that.
@THX: LOL.

Typical macho move, running around a frozen planet without a shirt on.
Aliens, machines: I’m more concerned about the giant purple space-sperm that seems about to hit (impregnate?) the planet.

MacFadden Books like their cover models buff.

@B’man: And in the buff.

Ben & Jerry’s new flavor was an unexpected hit with sci-fi fans.

Yet another book with the word ‘Frozen” in the title, but no actual snow or ice anywhere on the illustration, so this northerner is curious what the frozenness entails…

@Emster: to be fair, the title “Planet Which Was Formerly Frozen, But Now Is Quite Temperate, As You Can See By Our Shirtless Hero” wouldn’t fit on the book.

@GSS ex-noob: I see your point. Also if they did squeeze our shirtless hero down even a smidge, we’d miss out on the groovy super low rise silver pants, which would ruin everyone’s fun, especially mine, as I just had to scroll up one more time to giggle my way through everyone’s crack comedy.
(I have to work tomorrow, just one more… no maybe two! Yeah, just two more, I’ll only look at two more book covers)
