Also, he looks a little like Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder II.

Is that prince harry getting magic zapped at him?

The further-away dude appears to be wearing a fisherman’s waders. One’d think that might not be a practical hobby to pursue while wearing a cloak.

@Herm
Hellhound, eh? I see you made it onto this cover!

Is that some kind of black glowing horse climbing a mountin in the background?
I am also spending far too much time wondering what kind of obstacles ‘only a man fron Hell could overcome’…perhaps a really, really scary rope swing.

No, the guy getting hit by the Icicle isnt falling over. He’s just throwing out his gang sign. “Beeeche, is that all yo gawt”

Yes it is. It is also made of metal (the horse, not the mountain).

Gosh, thanks for clearing that little mystery up for me Mooir. That certainly makes much more sense now…really…ummm….

And it talks!

@Little Mi, Mooir
It’s ordering a drink at the Invisible Bar ™.

Much as I loath necroposting I am moved to point out that apart from the appalling wardrobe and making Dilvishs elven boots into waders, this cover is reasonably accurate. The book itself is a collection of short stories, and the cover shows the penultimate scene in the story “Devil and the dancer”.

That is definitely Rowan Atkinson from Blackadder II fighting against Kenneth the Page from “30 Rock”.

@GSS noob: holy crap, you’re spot on about that second one. Now I can’t unsee it.

@Tom: My work here is done. Once you see it…

How does that, you know, work? I mean, in practice?
How does a blue energy bolt come out of his fingers?
Even assuming the source of the energy was “another dimension” (fine, OK, let’s go with that), wouldn’t the heat/particles/emission burn his hand to a crisp…?
But then, I always preferred SF over Generic Fantasy…

@A.R.Yngve, Rowan Atkinson has developed a personal, short-range, hand-held wormhole that summons the mass/energy from one location about 200 feet away, focuses it, and releases it as a burst of blue-shifted energy beams to another location about 20 feet away.
Coincidentally, the source location becomes denuded of energy and mass in the form of a black hole in the shape of a rearing horse. Science!

@Ryan: Of course! It’s so simple when you explain it like that!
I wonder what snarky remark Rowan’s quipping as he zaps Kenneth.
