Only ten years earlier, the cover would have shown giant vacuum tubes instead of diodes. Cutting-edge science fiction!

Now, before you go blaming the post-impressionists just consider that this is exactly the sort of thing the surrealists would do.

If you think Popeye’s bad, you should see what they’ve done to Olive Oyl.

I call BS on this cover. This far into the future man would have moved beyond the plain tile floor.

Wait… those aren’t arms.

I’ve doen it! I’ve nvented the lava-lamp.

It’s like The Fly, except his DNA got spliced with a zucchini.

Early Brazilian butt lifts often went horribly wrong.

Not sure if the conveyor belt is moving her toward or away from the run amok matter transmitter. At this point I suspect her best bet is to go back through it and hope for some reconstructive relief.

“The good news is that you survived your teleporter accident. The _other_ good news is that you have a guaranteed job waiting for you at the nearest space circus!”

@A.R. Yngve: good catch on the diodes. It’s often hard to keep track of just how dated a particular future is.

And you thought transporter errors on Star Trek were bad. They are as nothing compared to this.
I thought the person in the bubble had a bicep tattoo, but it looks like the reseller penciled in a 35, and I’m not paying 35p or 35c or 35 anything for this.
The title sounds like it’s identifying what sub-genre this book is. Generic Galactic Intrigue within.
@fred: Maybe their floor fell victim to the amok transmitter too, and has switched places with some older floor.
@Tat: LOL.
@ARY: yes, good catch on the diodes.

@ARY @ex noob
Those don’t look like semiconductor diodes to me. They resemble “pencil tubes”. They were miniature vacuum tubes built in the late ’50s, I think.

Jesus Christ! Who let Dali at the controls again?

Just what the world needs: the Popeye Origin Story.

The book contains a ‘beautiful violet-eyed girl’ and has an ad for a fake cigarette on the back cover. Plot sounds like corporate warfare.

@The Blue: I think you might be right.
@fred: Is that a fake cigarette ad, or a real stop smoking ad? Looks to have an actual London address, and the usual back cover description is inside.

When you skip everything at the gym but Arm Day for twelve years.

You know, I usually have the urge to ask for a WTF tag on on every cover I see here. And then this comes along, and I realize there is an elite class, a Premier League, a Super Bowl of WTF.

@JJYoyo: agreed… what would the GSS WFT ring look like? And how many would Ryan be wearing by now because, dude, where is he finding this stuff??

The red stuff at upper right might be a Web of Intruige! (galactic division)
@Tag?
