Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Comments: I want to take the art director, grab him firmly by the shoulders, shake him like salad dressing and shout into his face, ‘TOO HARD! TOO BLOODY HARD! YOU ARE TRYING TOO BLOODY HARD!’ But that’s not allowed, is it?

Dead Stuff With Big Teeth’s Art Direction: We haven’t any more time to spend on your ‘drawing the main character’ rubbish, there are 117 layers of rainbow-coloured lacquer to slap on the cover before we put it to bed!

Dr Bob Art Direction: Gimme some cavemen in well-laundered loincloths and a mammoth which can scratch the top of its own head with its tusks.

Jeweleya Comments: This cover is so off-putting to me that I can’t bring myself to read the book. A few highlights –

• The sword dissolving into blue dust
• The barbarian’s barely-decent rags (it’s refreshing that the woman is wearing more than the man, for once)
• The utterly generic, swirly, rainbow-threw-up-on-it background
• And my personal favorite: the horse that looks like it’s just been flung backwards from a giant slingshot

…Indeed, a cover for the ages.
