Frank Comments: This is clearly of the 1970s, a fantasy warrior knife-fighting pose, but in disco dress, with zodiac symbols in the background. And big bugs! Seriously, I looked at it to see if it was an update of “The Radio Man” for the Disco Years. It wasn’t.

Jaouad Comments: Don’t really know what’s going on here, but I’m immoderately fascinated by the robot in the background, which appears to be gift-wrapping some other robot, lying on a table. ‘Tis the season?

Good Show Sir Comments: The hottie on the right is the mutant Mother of Blades. From the book:
“She faced him, her four calloused hands set firmly on her broad hips. Her eyes were reddened from staring into the furnace in which she heated her metal; sweat ran down her wrinkled face into the sparse gray mustache which disfigured her upper lip, and dripped onto her bare chest…” Spot on, cover artist Patrick Turner.

Piper’s Art Direction: What do you mean a naked Terminator woman won’t do? Fine, add another woman in the background curled up in a ball and she HAS to be naked too. That, a broken egg and some kitchen tiles and I think we’re done here.
