Ian’s Art Direction: Did you see the cover that came back from the artist? It’s full of crotches! Crotches! I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay that idiot to fix it. See if you can get an intern in here to cover them up with oblong stickers or smudges or something. Make it look natural.

NGpm Comments: This is one busy cover. Why does the dragon-saurus have a blue and red aura? Is the horse fireproof? You know this dragon’s dynamite: “look at the bones, man!” Overall the art isn’t bad, but the typography and that blurb about the Newberry is just so awkward.

We’ve got submitted Spock covers coming out our pointy ears so it’s a good time to toss them all together into a Mr. Spock Megapost! Credit where credit is due but there are some unknown artists and publishers in this mix.

Good Show Sir Comments:
1. Yes we are both threatened by the giant ants. Why do you persist in yelling Me Too?
2. I wish to be now known as Father Spock.
3. “Airing … grievances … lot of problems … you people … gonna hear it …”
4. Next time let’s not get our publicity shots posing in the Sears Portrait Studio.
5. Sorry. I don’t know what happened. I’ve never lost my Vulcan Death Grip before.
