Neil Comments: May Day May Day, we have a situation up here. At least I think Im in an aeroplane, maybe its some tech suit. Either way I think we should concentrate on a wolf coming out of the clouds.

My dream? My dream is that the guy who cleans the cockpit window cleans the top part as well as the bottom. That’s my dream.

what if the wolf is just singing. it’s got perfect embouchure for opera. the guy in the headgear seems to be enjoying it.
or maybe it just a dream of mine…

“Most people dream of weird stuff. Me, I just wanted a well fitted polo shirt and a floating daemonic wolf head in the clouds.”

Xbox’s newest addon, the Wolfex, really puts you in the middle of a Twilight movie!

The mystery pilot has a resemblance to Chevy Chase – it’s the Fletch smirk starting to show through.

I hope there’s an actual wolf in this. I find cover art perennially disappointing and misleading when it comes to the animal content of books – although, encouragingly, Zelazny did write a novel from the POV of a dog (“A Night in the Lonesome October”).

The man looks like a cuddlier version of the DC supervillain the Anti-Monitor.

This cover gets the award for best text-art mismatch.

James: seriously. How can you tell what the man looks like?

Adam: Anti-Monitor wears a helmet that has some similarities to the dream machine headgear on this cover.

That handle on the side of the cockpit just bugs the hell out of me.

Behind you. Behind you!
OK then, above you, above you!

Apparantly its about a therapist who (with the help of technology, maybe thats him in the suit?) can get into his patients dreams and control them. Hence hes the DREAM MASTER.
Im afraid it didnt mention a wolf Herm. Maybe it symbolises IMPENDING DOOOOM.
That handle also really annoys me. Someone decided that it needed a handle. Little did they know the impact it would have years down the line.

OK, there’s always a “…but” in a tag line about dreams coming true:
“He makes your dreams come true… IN HELL!!!”
“He makes your dreams come true… and it’s REALLY NICE!!”
“He makes your dreams come true… but you are SO UNIMAGINATIVE!!”
