Quick dear, lets go. Sean Connery is trying to steal my man thong for Zardos!Click for full image

Colette’s Art Direction: I want an attractive couple on another planet who wear ribbons instead of actual clothing. But I guess we need something that will make it seem horrible AND sexy, so can you add a long trail of golden ectoplasm to the woman’s lower body? It should imply “you have radiant womb” and not “you should immediately see a doctor about that.”
Published 1973

Actually, that cover IS a classical work of art!I would touch it without protective gloves.I've seen worse. Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning! Feels so good!Good Show Sir! (Average: 7.39 out of 10)

    Is he wearing stockings! Oh la la monsieur.

  2. Jaouad Says:

    They should have done something about his tanlines, though.

  3. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    After reading the back cover blurb, I feel heights of “I could be doing something better with my time” I haven’t felt in months.

  4. A.R.Yngve Says:

    The cover that gave 10,000 sci-fans a neck ache!

  5. A.R.Yngve Says:

    “The stealer of lives is driven to a flight from death.”
    I guess you have to be stoned to grok that.

  6. A.R.Yngve Says:

    “The stealer of lives is driven to a flight from death.”
    OR:
    “Death takes a holiday.”
    OR:
    “The Grim Reaper takes a taxi from himself.”
    OR:
    “I have no idea what I’m talking about.”

    Welcome to the planet where Rocky Horror Show actors are preserved in amber.

  8. Alessandra Kelley Says:

    Or possibly her name is “Honey.”

  9. Ian Says:

    Hey look a luna eclipse…

  10. Smith Says:

    I’m reminded of Sean Connery in Zardoz.

    And frankly, that’s a thought I could do without.

  11. THX 1138 Says:

    “You’ve ruined my kinky boots, madam!”

  12. Vic Says:

    “Hold your hand or fall off the cliff? Hold your hand or fall off the cliff? Decisions, decisions.”

  13. Tom Noir Says:

    Is this the year that wearing straps finally becomes ‘in’? I’d better start hitting the gym…

  14. Dave Van Domelen Says:

    When comically oversized silk panels attack!

  15. fred Says:

    @Smith. I agree with the Zardoz thing. Except Charlotte Rampling thoughts are always welcome.

  16. Phil Says:

    A new tag: “moust”. What does it mean, and is this truly the first “moust” cover we have seen here?

  17. Alessandra Kelley Says:

    @Phil: It’s got the “most Proust” references? (“Ah, Madeleine, we meet again…”)

  18. John T Says:

    “Darling, will you make me the happiest fetishist in Hell…?”

  19. anon Says:

    The concept must have been “Zardoz offers cigarette to Zardozina, who’s peeing orange all over the place”.

  20. Noel Says:

    Darling, when will you learn not to smoke and fart at the same time?

  21. Tom Noir Says:

    It took the creators of MythBusters a while to settle on the show’s current direction.

  22. Tom Noir Says:

    This cover looks like the same old thong and dance to me.

  23. Tom Noir Says:

    This book chronicles the rise of the rap duo Mythmaster Mike and Sir Myths-A-Lot.

    Baby Got Back indeed.

  24. GSS ex-noob Says:

    Indeed, we are missing a tag to commemorate Zardozina’s posterior.

    Are we sure the guy didn’t have a lisp? Instead of being legendary, he just owned a large blender?

  25. Tat Wood Says:

    Shurely a candidate for the under-ushed ‘It’sh Shean Connery’ tag?

  26. GSS ex-noob Says:

    @Tat: So little-used that I didn’t even know it was a tag until the Friday Flashback!

    But yesh — what with him in the mouse-over text and all the Zardoz thoughts.
