I wonder if there’s been any complaints about that cover because the slave girl doesn’t have a brand on her thigh? Goreans get anal about that sort of thing, even if this one of the early novels from when Norman was doing shoddy pastiches of Edgar Rice Burroughs rather than even shoddier imitations of Pauline Reage…

I see your American Gor cover and raise you the 1971 UK hardcover first edition foetus cover.

“Skarn-goskir Icke’s theories about our Priest-Kings should be taken with a grain of salt.”

It’s nice to see a woman who is wearing a sensible hairstyle.

Wow – that one ranks really high on the Classic Cheese-O-Meter. I mean, I really like it, but cheeeeeseeeeeey!

It’s hard to tell what’s worst about this: the content, or the font abuse. The art’s a’ight, it’s Boris and the damsel at least has a bikini bottom and teat shields.
But you know the content is terrible (although less bad than the later ones), and even some legally-blind people can make out how bad that font is. Typeface is weird, and as for the colors, all I could think was “bilious”.
@fred: At least the colors and font aren’t so bad on that one.
@Emster: I listened to “Year of the Cat” on Lunar New Year day to honor your new lyrics.

@B’man: Good catch. Apparently paperback SF through the decades can’t get enough of guys in their undies stabbing bipedal insects, whilst damsels wish they were outta there.
Also, I suppose mandibled priest-king’s feet are hard to draw. Check out the orange fog. Either that or he’s about to break his sword on a stone statue and damsel is trying to warn him, but because it’s Gor, no man listens to her.
(make up your own joke about that last line)

This obviously isn’t the real deal, but a rip-off by the Norwegian writer “Jahn Narman” (as anyone can read on the cover).

Priest-Kings of Gar?
It might even be by Jahn Naaman.
