Women can’t resist a prince in a man-dress.

I smell a sitcom!

One of the few covers on here that ADMITS to being bad. Oh wait, that’s part of the title.

I can think of no better way to honour the late Ray Bradbury, whose Fahrenheit 451 was my inspiration to write even when I was a wee laddie, by making a snarky comment about a novel’s bad cover art.
‘So, I see you weigh less than a duck. You’re a witch then, aren’t you?’

I suppose I’d be banned from this Web site if I suggested replacing ‘royal’ with ‘pope’, wouldn’t I?

I choose to believe this is a twin publication, after the fashion of the old Ace Doubles. On the one hand, ‘Bad C’, in which a viking flies to the moon. On the other, ‘Prince Harlie’, the story of the medieval invention of the original Harley Davidson.

I choose to believe that, too.

Always trying to find the good in any cover…………..those knots on the basket look neatly tied.

Crossed armed guys looks to be leaning on an invisible pillar. With feet crossed like that he will fall over shortly…
Ginger in the basket asks “Why am I in this flippin’ basket?”

IMMEDIATE OPENING: Apathetic, incompetent editor needed to write fantasy cover blurbs. Temporary only.

I checked this book’s reviews out on Amazon and, incredibly, it actually seems like a good book… I may even buy it.
Awful cover aside, it seems to be a lampoon of Shakespeare and medieval fantasy stories.

You mean it isn’t a biography of the Royal Wingnut?

I’ve read all of Moore’s books and I can confirm this cover is intentionally bad. His fantasy is all comedic, in the same vein as Terry Pratchett and Wicked. His “Heroics For Beginners” is a wonderful satire of the genre and has the single best deconstruction of the genre since The Evil Overlord list.

@Dead Stuff With Big Teeth: I congratulate you on your Monty Python joke. That basket doesn’t look like it could support the weight of an adult human. So what’s she doing being lowered down the castle wall in it?
Show of hands: Who was reminded of the Prince of Wales upon seeing the title?

The inanimate objects (basket, stone wall, ground, clothing, sword what’s going to get that guy in the solar plexus) are very well rendered. The rest of it, not so much.
Can’t be about Camilla’s sanitary device — no one’s got Dumbo ears, bad teeth, or hair loss.
