Reasonable cover for the story contained within; still wouldn’t necessarily want to be seen reading it.
But why body-stripes for women, wing-stripes for men? Seems like unnecessary sexual dimorphism.

Bird people got catsuits.

Taylor and Scarlett haven’t quite got this Coastal Grandmother thing right yet.

@Ryan: It does illustrate the cover story well, but the excess of weird colors and patterns, plus the jumble of words at the top means I wouldn’t read it on a bus either.
@Tat: GSS!
@Bruce: That would be our new Captain America, Sam Wilson, who does have a red white and blue suit with functional wings.

My only problem with reading this on a bus would be the prospect of being engaged in conversation by short-sighted tropical fish fanciers.

Theme song for this cover, with costumes almost as silly:

Based on my recollection of reading the title story decades ago, the woman front and center might be reasonable for the character described as “The Menace From Earth”. The other 2 characters were teenagers or pre-teens, and the female narrator described herself being about as curvy as a toothpick.

@Emster: GSS! Perfect.

I want to know why the guy’s wings and tails/fins are a different color than his blue-striped bodysuit, when the womens’ aren’t. Another sign of sexual dimorphism, I suppose.
Doesn’t everyone know that cleavage *is* the menace from Earth?
