Holy crap. We need something to distract from that bright silver font we’re using. So, how about a guy with an eye patch posing with weapons and a women doing the very same thing. Put a moon in the background, and by background I mean most of the cover.

Crikey but that woman has a freakishly long neck.

Maybe the guy behind her is trying to cut it off.
But with that eye patch it might take a few swipes.

That’s no moon.
I don’t know what else it is, though.

It really isnt a moon… He’s dipped his entire left arm from bicep to wrist isnt into it. Unless ofcousre the moon is made from cheese, a 90% liquid, green mouldy cheese.
He does kinda look like Steven Seagal though, but with an eye patch, an axe and stake. Seagal should do fantasy TV & movies.

SI: hence the term ‘swan song’?
And, no, it’s not a moon. As my sister said, many years ago, when she first saw that watery star, the muse of poets, master of tides, through a telescope:
‘It looks like a half-chewed mouldy old dog biscuit.’
The ‘moon’ on this cover really *does*. I mean, it’s even green. That’s mould, that is. There’s no question: this moon is made of green cheese.

Nix> hmm it does look like it could be a musical.
Fantasy based musical… hmmm. Well there’s another life goal.

I hate to keep on at this, but that woman’s neck is really distressing me.

Is there a deeped seeded emotional experience with a long neck you need to tell us about Adam? It’s ok, you can trust us not to joke about your issues…..
HA!

Her neck! It’s too loooong!

In the words of Professor Jones to his son.
‘Indiana… let it go.’
But you are right…. her spine must be a couple of meters long. I can’t stop staring now. gah!

@Tag Wizard: I believe, although I cannot be sure, this needs some sort of a ‘moon’ tag. Maybe also:
cloaks
daggers
eyepatch
proportional issues
shiny oh so shiny
space
wtf
With her hold on the sword like that…she can’t possibly be chopping downward without nicking off a chunk of her head. So that must mean that she’s going to swipe to the side…and cut him through the middle! Maybe he knew he should have held off a moment longer before he materialized out of the moon, and now he’s going to be cleft in two…

How right you are!
…also ‘waistcoat’ and, on account of the moon being so ridiculously oversized, I think we can allow a ‘behind you’
Essentially, what we’re saying is ‘this cover needs tagging’!
June 23rd, 2013 at 9:09 pm
Well, what we’re trying to say is that the cover needs tagging.
And, great quivering enigmas with a side salad and a light tartare sause, THAT’S A LONG NECK!

Why is Eyepatch Man wearing a sheer purple cloak?
June 25th, 2021 at 4:33 pm
They’re married cops, just like Cagney& Lacey.

Britney Spears once again demands that her father relinquish his guardianship over her, and this time it looks like she really means business.

“Arrr, me lass, careful with that longsword! You’ve already cost me one eye!”

“You’ve heard of blood Moons? This is the much rarer snot Moon.”
Is that actually a useful position to hold your dagger if you’re not planning to stab yourself in the thigh?
OTOH, that neck will make her popular with vampires.
