Not only is this cover bad in a non-good way if Wikipedia is to be believed it has fuck all to do with the story. Ben here is supposed to be an engineer. Now in my uni days I knew a fair few engineering students and they could be pretty wild. But there wildness was mainly expressed in alcohol consumption, poor personal hygiene, and determinedly not doing the washing-up. None dressed as Conan. (Though to be fair, I suspect they did cause a fair bit of lamentation of women but that would mainly have to do with the aforementioned personal habits.)

I guess it’s quite a stretch, then.

Needs a volcano, an ancient Romanish city, cat people, a couple of moons, unicorn centaurs, and a hot chick on a motorcycle.

Anatomical issues of Liefeldian proportions…

So he’s starving to death on an alien planet, then?
That kind of makes sense.

This poor guy clearly spent time being tortured on a Medieval rack.

The cover seems to imply that the means that Ben Pertin used to travel the galaxy without ever leaving Earth was to be incredibly elongated.
That way he kept at least one foot on base, while his head and shoulders roamed the universe like some sort of Galactic String Bean Being?

Anyone care to explain what’s going on with her feet?

I’m glad El Greco got over his sci-fi page and went back to icons.

@BC: I don’t think anyone could possibly explain, including the artist.
@Ryan: Galaxy of the Stretch Armstrongs!
@B’man: I couldn’t agree more.
@fred: That would be overegging it. I’d agree it could use cat people (chasing and eating the butterflies), two dissimilar moons, and possibly the volcano erupting from the sea, which is why the tiny spaceships, the butterflies, and the bot are all fleeing.

Eventually, the neighbors started complaining about him bringing so many bits of the Galaxy to Earth, especially the man-eating bean bag chairs and the public robosexuality.

@Bruce: My brain went “Man-eating bean bag chairs! I’ve seen that!” but then another part of my brain went’ “No, those were man-eating inflatable chairs.” (we still miss you, Roger Delgado)

@ex-Noob: Man-eating bean bags? Fast-forward to the end of Episode Two of ‘The Claws of Axos’.
(The chairs I was talking about before can be seen in ‘The Invasion of Time’, but n sky-blue).

@Tat: It’s been so long since I watched Classic Who I’d forgotten about the beanbags!
Never mind Daleks and Sontarans, the Doctor seems to have spent much of the 70s fighting amorphous furniture.
Rather later, I occasionally hung out at cons with John Levene. Charming chap.
