Quiet today… almost too quiet….
I quite like the vampire one actually! Though still not sure of a public reading.

The baby emperor also does E-TRADE commericals

Lord Voldemort must be a popular guy in Hungary! Looks like that’s him on the first cover. I thought it might be him on the third cover, until I looked under the sheep. Maybe his sister?

Nice to see Michael Chiklis still getting work now The Shield has finished.

Actually, I kinda like these covers. They’re whimsical in the right way.

Is the M-jumping guy in the first cover trying to salute like Benny Hill? How cool is that?

I agree with Adam, the covers are wonderfully cheesy. The intricate frames for 2 & 3! The D & D cast of characters come to life on 1! Are those heels on the robot-gawker?
(The dimension-hopping sheep is back! Now protecting the perkily cold chests of undead vampires! Woot!)

The cover with the atrophied “couch potato” watching TV sports isn’t really science fiction…
Most sports fans really look (more or less) like the one in the picture… and most modern athletes ALSO look like the one in the picture.
And small wonder, what with all the stuff they’re inhaling, injecting and swallowing these days… ;-P

How nice to see the sheep again.

Yeah, there was even a video game based on Caldwell’s books, called World of Chaos.

Cover 2: There is something seriously wrong with that guy’s face.

1. Who else remembers Action Transfers?
2. Don Rickles and China Mieville got into a teleport and the Mekon came out
3 My empty eye-sockets are up here
4 The robot has abruptly thought ‘what am I doing with my life?’

For some reason I can’t work up any enthusiasm for this. Perhaps I’m bad covered out.

@Bruce: Yeah, they’re pretty dull as badness goes, although I did remember the macrocephalic watching the Robot Olympics before I got to it. I’d forgotten the sheer extent of the gigantic melon though.
@TagW: Doesn’t this deserve the “baldy bald man” tag? Lots of chrome domes here.
Looking at the intricate border frames, I’m wondering if they got paid by the squiggle.

Space Modesty Sheep definitely improves Cover #3. In fact, Space Modesty Sheep would improve all of these covers—
#1. Over the squatting demon who appears to be taking a poo.
#2. Over Mr. Mussolini Clean’s ghastly smirk.
#3. Thank god it’s already there.
#4. Over those stomach-churning lower legs, of course.

“#2. Over Mr. Mussolini Clean’s ghastly smirk.”
Yeah, he really looks like he’s planning to do something _nasty_ with that flail, doesn’t he?
(Just noticed the globe: interesting geography. “What if the world were… all Greenlands?”)
February 12th, 2022 at 11:31 pm
@BC: Yes, more Space Sheep would have helped. Hope M-jumping guy doesn’t either plummet to his death or land in the demon poo.
@Bruce: Maybe Bald Smirking Mussolini hopes to use his flail to escape the border and the World Of Greenlands to some place more interesting.
