Raise the shields Mr Worf! The incoming cringe levels on this one are off the scale.

When some women get older, they develop crow’s feet.

Haute couture gets weirder every year.

I just know she’s going to start singing “We Are Family.”

Good one, Fred.
Emphasis on “Fairy” 🙂

Those are some extreme clavicles. She’s the one person who’s permitted to use a mobile phone the way people on ‘The Apprentice’ do, as if eating oysters.
But that’s mainly because she’s too heavily-armed for anyone to laugh at her in public.

This cover is officially ‘risque’.

A larger/sharper pic.

Did this book EVER get a cover befitting its status as a feminist classic? Or referring to the parallel worlds/heroines?
(checks)
Nope. Weird stuff, tits, or both.
Still, as bad as this is, I do like her attitude.
@fred: The sharper picture is less bad.

“Joanna, how did you hurt your hand?”
“I had to punch SO many artists. You wouldn’t believe how many!”

It looks to me like she’s got a shift knob from a manual transmission on the hilt of her sword. Which looks very slender, like a too-thin walking stick *that needs a scabbard.*

The fuzzy wrap/tasteful fog also makes it look like her hand is just hanging out there in mid-air.

@GSSxn (Prev.):
I hadn’t looked at the “bigger, sharper” picture before now. I hadn’t noticed how the bracelet on her left wrist sort of blends in with the psychedelic gangplank from the mushroom-ship (I’m assuming that’s what’s in the background, not a planet).
It also looks like she’s flipping off the artist semi-subtly with her right hand/talon, to me…..

@GSSxn, @Hammy—Her wardrobe, like those gearshift knob-topped mountains in the back, seems to be defying at least a couple laws of physics.

@Hammy: I can’t tell what the mushroom thing is either. Swoopy gangplanked ship, and/or is the mushroom also the source or result of her wrap?
@BC: The book does have parallel worlds with maybe time travel, but I think you have it right that physics didn’t enter into the artist’s thinking at all.
Maybe the little guy down right is sitting down looking nauseous from vertigo, trying to recover from being in this setting.

Believe it or not these are all elements from the book, though the author would have shrieked in horror at how they were portrayed. The woman is Jael, a female assassin from the future where women and men are at war with each other, living in separate nations. Jael did not ever wear a getup like that, though. The long silver claws she has (look closely at the pic) are in the book and portrayed correctly.
The troglodyte thing is her genetically engineered love-slave, Davy, though in the book he was described as handsome and blonde. There was a throwaway line about his genetic material coming from a chimpanzee, which I guess the artist took too literally. The planet in the back is Jael’s house, which is round and sits on a column. Very 70s. The background is the wasteland between the male and female nations.

Nothing can explain the placement of her sword.

@GSS ex-noob
She has another sex slave behind her with his face down and bum up, grasping the end of the blade between his buttocks, obvs.

@Max: Of course. It’s all so simple when you explain it.

..or is it ‘Russ Joanna’?
