Good Show Sir Comments: Bibliomancer commented yesterday “It seems whenever we post a Devil-worshiper cover we encounter “Technical Difficulties” on the site. Best not to mess with the Dark Forces.”

Well I say “Bring it on, Beelze-Buddy! Good Show Sir doesn’t fear you or your skank mistress!”

It’s a Two-fer Tuesday: Dominic Flandry Showcase

Good Show sir Comments:

1. Poul Anderson pulls a George R.R. Martin; kills off Flandry in a first chapter surprise!

2. Signet decides that putting Flandry’s face or name on the cover does not sell books.

Thanks to Charles for sending one in.

Tom Luczycki’s Art Direction: I need a guy astride a giant walking fish-thing accompanied by a metallic angel with nippless bazooms. Could you have the guy holding an impossibly small and ineffective bow? Forget about the arrows. The bow is more a symbol for the subtext of the underlying metaphor. And moths. The moths should round things out nicely.
