I don’t know where I’ve been for the past few days, but I found this written on the back of my hand: Blue black skin, golden eyes, brain tubes, explosions, horrified expression, spaced out look, glass dome head.
Oh wait, it’s just all the classic symptoms of reading a collection of Sci-Fi stories.

Actually…. is the inside on that dome a clock? He’s been turned into a clock?

I really don’t know… its hard to guess, especially given the list of short stories , possibly “The Time Wager” by John Kippax?
None of those titles really sound like they involve a galaxy sized blue/black God with a glass domed head, who spends his eternity shouting (or singing opera?)

So that’s what people mean when they say a space opera? 😉

Well if you can get past the Black and White Minstrel Show blacking up this is, in a dated pulpy way, really rather splendid.

Of course the man has been turned into a clock. Look at it more closely. It’s a negative of Albert Einstein, and this is a reference to relativity. (Honest guv.)

This is not the kind of novelty clock that non-creepy people will buy and place in their homes.

@Tag_Wizard: May I submit this cover for the “my head aplode ” tag?
I know his blue head isn’t exactly exploding, but mine just might after seeing this atrocity.
