“I see the wizard in the back has a question.”
“Yeah – I’m not sure I should be here…”
“You’re a _moral_ monster. And you usually stay up till 4 or 5 am playing Settlers of Catan.”

Caught him red-handed.

It’s a Leiber Double staring contest.

Gandalf had an impressive wooden staff. This guy has an oversized foam hand he picked up at a football match.

All of the spectators were amazed by, and cheered loudly for, The Frogman’s incredible long-jump.

Dunno where my comment went, so here it is again.

You’ll have this stuck in your heads all day now. Don’t mention it.

Fritz did write good creepy eldritch beasties, sometimes round/staring-eyed, but they were horrific, not goofy.
Is there a “bigfootitis” tag? The green thing sure would qualify.
Behind the green thing and wizaaard (of “beard-wielding”), there seems to be some kind of clown; rightly terrifying.
@Tor, @FB: GSS!
@fred: There is a big green cat in that one, but I don’t think it was that big. Still, the artist had at least read the description. Big green cat/heads appeared on other covers.

Of all the oddities on this cover, the long armed magi is the most unnerving.

@GSS ex-noob: well, that makes _two_ Leiber books with big green cats shown in an exaggerated manner on the cover.

That’s even worse than the UK cover, which is no mean feat…

Congratulations to the artist for depicting the worst of AI fantasy art way back when.

Ok, I’ll play:
Hmmm, from top to bottom: Peter Lorre, Yul Brynner, Ian McKellen, and off to the side, oh, I dunno, maybe Mick Jagger in a frog suit.
