Don Comments: OK, we’ve seen tons of perms and oodles of mullets on these covers – but I do believe this is the first permed mullet. (Pullet?) Assuming that’s the eponymous Bard whose Tale this is, he’s apparently not the brightest light in the harbor, since he a) agreed to accompany his hairdresser on a thieving expedition from an albino lizard-man (do such things EVER end well?) and b) misunderstood her when she said she wanted him along to carry the loot.

Many thanks to the Don!
Frank Comments: Cover art by Gino D’Achille. Who I note wasn’t afraid to paint a lady warrior with a bit of convexity where her tummy should be. I approve!

Draw a few dinosaurs and some people jet-packing around the planet. That way we have both words of the title covered. Though, concentrate on the title, huge black box, every word highlighted with something awesome. You don’t know what that means? For God’s sake man, like, put the word ‘Anne’ in an orange diamond shape. That’s the type of awesome I’m talking about!

Mark E’s Art Direction: You remember “clip art” don’t you? Good. Use that. Use A LOT of that.

FluffyGhostKitten Comments: Today’s cover was brought to you by the letters I and N, for “intravenous nutmeg”.

Ok… So quite a break. Not that anyone really cares that much.
The good news is that I have collected a good few new book covers. Let’s just say that with the ‘glory’ of a certain vampire love story that seems to be so popular these days there are some very good Sci-fi Romance books floating around!
So updates should start again on Monday 3rd August 2009.
Looking forward to starting again! So should see a few website updates too while I try to make this thing look not so much like a wordpress blog… which it is, but you know what I mean.
Yours,
– Good Show Sir
