Happy New Year 2020! Hard to believe but Good Show Sir is entering its third decade of curating a panoply of terrible sci-fi and fantasy book covers. And a third decade of passersby mistaking terrible covers for bad covers. And speaking of milestones, in this past year we celebrated our 10th Anniversary and 2,000th Cover! We threw such a big party bash I totally blacked out and can’t remember anything. I’m sure you all had a great time.

2019 saw the launch of the Good Show Sir Podcast (“Another fucking podcast” raves Podcast Aficionado magazine!)

And in 2019 GSS underwent a massive expansion, increasing our staff by 50% with the addition of the lovely and talented Social Media Strategist Tweet Jane! Our Twitter and Facebook presence has been spruced up and there you can find bonus pithy comments and troll abuse not seen on our blog page.

On to the honours. First, the top rated cover of last year:

Now back to recovering from the concussion I received from a fan angry about my Black Peter costume. He obviously misunderstood I was dressed ironically. Go figure.

Many Authors, not a good sign
Oh god, it’s a novelization
