It’s a Two-fer Tuesday – Virgin Planet special!
Good Show Sir Comments:
#1 It says “Cover design Lester, Larkin & Divers” on back cover. Took a three-man team to design an arse cover.
#2 OK lady but if you’ve never seen a man you’re setting your expectations up a little high.

Kat’s Art Direction: “Okay, you’ve used the front of her shirt to make shoulder pads and recycled the scraps to make some useless pouches. Good work. But you know what this cover needs? What it really, really needs? … SHINIER LETTERING.”

Good Show Sir Art Direction: This cover has to be at the printers in 15 minutes. Just cut some pop stars out of Melody Maker and paint over the collage. And add a rocket — it’s supposed to be “science fiction”. Next time don’t smoke angel dust before you come to work.

Good Show Sir Comments: Back in the day I was a much better bagpiper. I practiced day and night. Before my roommates bludgeoned me to death.
