It’s a Two-fer Tuesday – Virgin Planet special!
Good Show Sir Comments:
#1 It says “Cover design Lester, Larkin & Divers” on back cover. Took a three-man team to design an arse cover.
#2 OK lady but if you’ve never seen a man you’re setting your expectations up a little high.

Tom Luczycki’s Art Direction: I need a guy astride a giant walking fish-thing accompanied by a metallic angel with nippless bazooms. Could you have the guy holding an impossibly small and ineffective bow? Forget about the arrows. The bow is more a symbol for the subtext of the underlying metaphor. And moths. The moths should round things out nicely.
