Are we having fungus yet?

Now that’s what immediate comes to mind of when I think of Piers Anthony: fungi!
(The guy in back looks dissatisfied. He’s probably wondering where the underage girls are at.)

Yesterday I made a crack about Cold War Steve; today this comes up. Talk about Fan Service.
Peter Beardsley, Gareth Southgate and, er, Jim Belushi in a jungle, wearing space-suits. Not as on-the-nose as his usual mash-ups.

They’re upset because they expected there to be boobies.

I didn’t know Roger Dean did book covers between Yes albums.
This one might be a rejected sleeve for the single “Starship Trooper”.

I am indeed dazzled by this cover, but not by it’s inventiveness I can assure you.
I’m also half-convinced that the three heads were stolen from the promotional material for some now long forgotten British sitcom.

I pity the two guys who had to journey to this distant planet while stuck inside a small spacecraft with Kevin Spacey.

Wait, they’re doing another Ghostbusters reboot – for VEGANS?

Is the light illuminating the three faces coming from a completely different source and frequency of that shining upon the rest of the illustration?

“Behind you, more giant flying bugs. Guys, where’s your rifles?”.

@Ryan: I think they’ve got a portable telly under that algal frond and they’re watching ‘Match of the Day’ – except Jim Belushi who, being American, is illuminated by the ting from his gun.

If the power goes out, that book cover will light up the room – yow – giving Baen a run for their money. (I do rather like bright fuchsia tho – woo!)

Missed a trick and an even worse pun by not calling it “Antherology”.
@Fission Chips: This being from the 80s, someone actually had to make a conscious effort to paint them all that way, or at least cut and paste the heads.
@Bruce: So is Piers the chap in the back, or is he the dodgier-looking one down left?
@Tor: Ah, that’s not Piers then. Kev would be looking for the underage boys.
@Ryan: Either Kev or Jim would be illuminated by the only weapon they seem to have on a strange planet, guy in back has his very own spotlight, and t’other guy has jaundice or a spray tan.

Howard Jones found his long-awaited comeback to be a crushing disappointment.

I don’t know about y’all, but the way those three guys are posed, they remind me of a castle with human heads instead of turrets.
