Perry Comments: Somehow, this cover gives the appearance of being both sleazy & profound, like Ingmar Bergman meets a 70s porno.

Perry Armstrong Comments: “I searched to see whether this Sheckley cover had already been posted, and was amazed to find only – three – Sheckley covers thus far featured on Good Show Sir! Given the sheer awesomeness of numerous Sheckley covers, I find your lack of Sheckley covers disturbing, and hope this Sheckley cover goes some way towards rectifying the situation. Sheckley cover.

Starring Vin Diesel as Bobo, the microcephalic, mutant dwarf. Click for full image

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.
