Christal’s Art Direction: Let’s go for Evil Dead 3, only we’ll place it on The Grid from Tron and give the monsters laser guns! Oh and this time no boomstick, it gave him an unfair advantage.

Amazing! Thanks to Christal!

Greengerg Comments: Poor Lin Carter, surely he won the lifetime award for the biggest string of terrible paperback covers. In this classic, the sad golden gargoyle refuses to join the revelers with their horns of ale, perhaps because he cannot figure out why a guy with such bizarre body proportions got to be the hero.

Many thanks to Green!

Tally ho! Well good chap I’ll have the one with swords and those smashing old wizards praising a big wolf in the clouds!

Good show old bean, I’ll go for the one with double swords, a buxom beauty and a mighty cape. Spiffing!

Happy New Year!
Well it’s 2011 and that means we have an entire year of quality book covers behind us. So here we will have a few of the best covers chosen by the Good Show Sir staff, helper monkeys or whatever.
Just want to say thanks to everyone who visits the site! I would have never have thought so many people would be interesting in joining us sharing these wonderful covers. Thanks to all the commenter’s out there, where would we be without your generous sarcastic undertones? Also want to say thanks to all the artists and writers we’ve had come along to the site, we love all these covers but sorry if we’ve caused any tears!
Finally, special thanks to the all those who have sent in and continue to email me covers! I apologise that I haven’t got back to everyone who has sent covers in and I do have quite the backlog but we’ll get through them all.. probably!
How could we not mention:
A personal favourite:
Everyone loves cat people!
CSA chooses magic, wizards, unicorns and fairies:
Finally, well… maybe we should come back later:

DN’s Art Direction: No cohesion, you hear me? None! And, listen, if there aren’t two guys in a tango-off over Kevin Sorbo’s shoulder on this cover, you’re fired!

Art Direction: Now now, the naked gladiator in a helmet theme is completely in this season, so I insist! Make sure to cover his giblets in shadow because we don’t want a meat and two veg hanging out to offend readers. Side bum, is acceptable.
