Art Direction: We all know from popular science fiction when one is stranded on a planet we loose clothing. It always ends up with a women in a mere bikini watching a man in a spear fight with some sort of daemon creature. Always! So draw it kinda like Robinson Crusoe… except with more breasts. And aliens.

Monkey Comments: I actually don’t know the story, so i have no idea which of these covers is the most accurate. With Heinlein you can never tell.

Who doesn’t love Swedish sci-fi covers?! Recall the fun we all had with Skeppsbruten på Tschai last year. We recently stumbled upon the delightful WordPress blog “enlitenbloggomrymden” (“small blog space”) which has a wealth of terrible covers from the publisher Lindqvist. These were published from 1969-1971 and I’ve included a few of our favourites below. Have at them and enjoy!
Och stjärnornas konungar dö
Vindarnas Planet
Främmande Rymdskepp
Slutstriden
Good Show Sir Comments:
1. Swedish dominatrix says “your safe word is Ochstjärnornaskonungardö”
2. Flavour-sealed for freshness
3. Busted by the fashion police
4. Sluts-a-ridin’
Published 1969-1971
