Her, but NOT the centaur she rode in on.

So. Many. RIBS.

‘Jeez, all I wanted was a little off the top!’

She hacked her own right leg off in the process.

“Hey, lady the Atlantis Centaur Taxi Regulatory Authority is fine with nudity but I need you to sheathe that sword before you take out my other eye.”

That can’t be the original background.

“I’ll take ‘Poorly Designed Melee Weapons’ for $1,000, Alex!”
That’s how you get ahead (sic) in this world.

“Next time, I shan’t leave it four years between shaving downstairs: just look at all of this, and I’m sure I’ve nicked myself as well…”

The Centaur is dazzled by the intense orange-ness of the “Lost Worlds”. (The woman with the sword, meanwhile, is just so, so high. Shortly she’s going to look at her left hand and say “WTF did that come from?”)

Can we get “weird pecs”, “weird abs” and “weird entire torso WTF” tags?
I suppose we should be happy that it only takes up half the cover. But to be nitpicky, there’s no such thing as a Grand Master of Fantasy. That official award does not exist. There are Grand Masters of Science Fiction or Fantasy (given out at the Nebulas). And he ain’t one of the 40 of those, particularly since there were only 4 at the time this was published. Nor one of the World Fantasy Life Achievement (6 at this point), nor of the short-lived fantasy award he created himself.
It looks like they’re mid-headbang (sic) to a rocking tune. Their heads are down in the next frame.
Was Carter attempting to one-up Conan Doyle with more than one Lost World?
As for me, I’m not riding a horse sans some kind of breast support, at minimum a breastband or even a metal bra. And CERTAINLY not bare-assed. Is the blood from her butt and thigh chafing?
(Aside, mind-boggling, one: Someone has reprinted all of his THOGDOR. Why?)
@Tor: Great keeping the chain going.
@Bruce: Judging by centaur’s skin color, the “Lost Worlds” title is, in fact, a light source. Esp. since his horse-butt is white.
(Aside, mind-boggling, two: He also wrote the episode of Spider-Man that birthed the famous pointing meme.)

I’m also enjoying @Tor’s current chain (no pressure, @Tor!)
“… and the sunken continents beyond memory…” because they are unnamed, or not enough space on the cover to list them? Sorta like when Gilligan’s Island theme song was shortened to “and all the rest” for no apparent reason (contract disputes? 70’s kids who had cable pls advise)

@Emster: Other way around. 1st season was “and all the rest”, then Gilligan hisself told the studio to add the Prof and Mary Ann to the opening credits and the song. Which was nice of him. Plus I always liked the Prof and MA best anyway.
(didn’t have cable; did have afternoon reruns)

@GSSxn – Yeah, me too…
And then there’s this:

Come with Fantasy’s Grand Master…
… or settle for the likes of Lin Carter.

@ARY: LOL and thumbs up.
