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.”

Is he wearing stockings! Oh la la monsieur.

They should have done something about his tanlines, though.

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.

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

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

“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.

Or possibly her name is “Honey.”

Hey look a luna eclipse…

I’m reminded of Sean Connery in Zardoz.
And frankly, that’s a thought I could do without.

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

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

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

When comically oversized silk panels attack!

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

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

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

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

The concept must have been “Zardoz offers cigarette to Zardozina, who’s peeing orange all over the place”.
March 28th, 2015 at 12:17 pm
Darling, when will you learn not to smoke and fart at the same time?
March 28th, 2015 at 7:03 pm
It took the creators of MythBusters a while to settle on the show’s current direction.

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

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

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?
February 9th, 2018 at 8:55 pm
Shurely a candidate for the under-ushed ‘It’sh Shean Connery’ tag?
February 12th, 2018 at 12:41 am
@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.
