The new series of Space Blind Date turns ugly.

We all knew that when a Japanese company bought the rights to ‘Thomas the Tank Engine’ a ‘Transformers’ team-up episode was on the cards.

The man’s face is a bit close to the alien’s crotch.
However, the alien lacks secondary sexual characteristics, so I am sure that no funny business is in the offing.

If spacetrain A leaves the dock at 8am and spacetrain B leaves the dock at 9pm, at what time is spacetrain B going to throw an energy projection of an alien who looks like he ate too much Taco Bell at spacetrain A’s face?

The first edition cover is marvelous. This one? Not so. When EVERY element of your cover needs the epithet ‘space’, such as ‘space man face train’ or ‘space lightning cat’, your cover is a Good Show, Sir.

“With a brand-new introduction by the author” I wonder how they ever managed to wrangle Silverberg for an introduction on a book like this.

I like to think the alien is stepping between them:
“Guys guys guys… can’t you creepy face space ships… just get along!?!”

Gremlins In Space, but where is Phoebe Cates?

Could the price sticker be an alternative to the space sheep and CS Lewis?

The one in bottom right I like to think of as Tron Face. If anyone actually paid 99p for this, you woz robbed.
For 99p, I would expect a “font problems” tag. Look at the size of that G. And what gives with the V?

Note that it says “Oxfam” on the price sticker!

Now, how exactly did anyone reason that this book cover was going to help Oxfam? I’ll wait forever for an explanation…

The brand-new introduction by the author starts like this:
I swear to God I had nothing, NOTHING to do with this cover. Editors never listen to the wishes of authors when it comes to book covers. I can only explain the cover as some kind of fantastic conspiracy…

I think the Oxfam 99 pence sticker says it all.

1977, huh?
Yeah, it has that late-1970s, disco, overly colorful macramé tired druggie culture vibe.
I wonder if it dates from before or after Star Wars’ release that year.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…………..a glowing green teenager alien is bullied by his alien peers, watch as he suffers the most terrible of pranks, the dreaded butt/groin simultaneous headbutt!!!

Thoroughly enjoy what pops up on Random Terrible Cover and this one is a beaut.
“Space Threesome” or “How fringe religious groups explain The Big Bang”.
