Mel Gibson found the beard didn’t distract enough people, so drastic measures were taken.

Riker just can’t catch a break. First he gets duplicated and know this.
And, yeah, being played by Mel Gibson certainly didn’t help.

But Brian Blessed wasn’t in Flesh Gordon.

“An epic novel of adult fantasy,” says the blurb.
Is that the same as
“An adult novel of epic fantasy”…?

Leda and the swan wasn’t what most people picture.

Exactly which end of the bird is the face appearing on?

ARYngve: I’m thinking we can even go right to ‘An epic fantasy of novel adults’.

There appears to be a submarine floating inside that volcano. Either that or the bird has pooped.

Granted, NomadUK – but might it not just as well be
“a fantasy of adult epic novels”?

IIRC there’s an elaborate metaphorical description of a penis at one point. Sort of establishes its adultitude level for me.

Trying to decide if I’m seeing human hands or bird talons.

Adult fer sure, and eligible for a Shuriken of Approval. Those wacky Brits.

@B’Mancer—Talons. And, like feet, they appear to be hard to draw.

Ooh, is it “bird people” week here at GSS?
A novel fantasy of epic adults?
@B’man: Talons. It appears that only the head of Mel is human, and all the rest is bird.
I’m wondering what his neck situation is. And why the entire landscape is erupting volcanoes. And what the cover has to do with the book.

The cover has nothing to do with the book.No human-headed eagle, no volcanic landscape.

Can’t say I’m impressed by all these attempts to update Captain Birdseye.

@Tracy: A sci-fi novel with a cover that doesn’t match the book? Well, I never!

Correction – my bad. It was _Night’s_ master which had the cringey penis-talk. (At least, as far as I recall. Might be something equally bad I’m forgetting in another one of the books in the series.)
@Tracy: admittedly, a number of major characters in these books _could_ turn themselves into a man-headed bird (or bird-headed man) and fly over some volcanoes, just for shits and giggles, I suppose.
