Oh look, they used a promo image for Flesh Gordon on that cover. Emperor Wang the Perverted playing with balls, surrounded by wang-less naked dudes.

Team Tiny Naked Dudes are going to struggle to win this match. Think they might be going down.

“Foolish naked Earthlings! Can’t you see I’ve got you by the balls?”
BA-DA-DUM! Thank you, thank you.

Now, could anyone get Norman Spinrad to comment on this cover himself? Might be interesting… he’s alive and outspoken.

Tom Noddy’s latest bubble magic routine takes a startling turn.

A terrible book as well… Nowhere near Spinrad’s best….

Absolute terror. Quite right.

Oh this is terrible. I just don’t understand. They knew enough about typography to use a ligature for the “f” and “i” in “fight.” Then they totally blew the kerning between the “i” and “g.” Actually the kerning is pretty awful throughout.

This looks like it was “inspired” by one of the worst movies ever made. That would be Manos: the Hands of Fate.

@David H. Ah, that’s it! I knew it reminded me of something.

“Damn you, Tyrant! WATCH MY WANG FLOP FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!”

Man.. I don’t need to comment. I just really can’t stop laughing.
Wouldn’t have been just so artistic if that model hadn’t waxed his bum first though! HEYOOO

Only one man out of the whole solar system dared to fight back? For shame!

When the moon hits my face in the middle of space, that’s an agent!!When the men in my shirt are in worlds of hurt, that’s chaos!

I thought for a moment that Norman Spinrad was the name of the Dave Navarro looking juggler. If there isn’t a professional juggler using the stagename of Spinrad, there should be. Wait, is there still such a thing as a “professional” juggler?

It’s all right, he’s gone now.

A blue-skinned, fake-Asian ‘ruler of the solar system’ – OMG it’s Mavic Chen!

So is Blue Ming the Tyrant? Then is the “one man” who fought back the one naked chap who’s facing away from him? “No! You shan’t lure me in, I’m flying away to become the Agent of Chaos!”
also, no “hunkbutt” tag.

No ‘blue ming’ pun? for shame.

I left it for you. 🙂
It is a Blue Ming awful cover.
