Scott’s Art Direction: I was drinking fairly heavily when I read, “The E.S.P. Worm” but I’m pretty sure it was about an estranged pair of anthropomorphic sticks of chalk, plus a bespectacled penis, I mean “worm”, lassoing the Earth with its magic rainbow powers. So put that on the cover!

Alice Comments: If it were up to me, I’d put a space sheep over the whole cover.

Grady Comments: I’m disappointed, to be honest. The back of the book says, “They speak German. They carry whips. And they are connected in some mysterious way with Nazi experiments carried out in the charming old Irish castle during World War II.” Meh, I’ve seen more charming Irish castles.

Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: Well here’s my Nephew, a silver jump suit and a box of mangoes. Now just head out to that field and get me a picture. I’m sure whatever you come up with will be just fine.

WOW it works! Sort of… the site is very very broken still… but it’s all here!

To my great surprise I’ve realised that this in fact isn’t the original and somehow a familiar man-tiger has made its way into the Hammer Horror classic The Devil Rides Out!

Have a good evening and please remember not to pick up any Clavicles of Solomon that you might find. Who knows when – or how – the great RX might be conjured!

Good Show Sir Comments: Since it will be at least another 8-month wait until April for the next Good Show Sir podcast, you might want to check this out. Hosts “Khaki & K” will fill that gaping podcast hole in your life with some pretty damn funny commentary on their COVER MY ASS pod. As they describe it:

“A weekly podcast where we freestyle ‘reviews’ of books we haven’t read, with tenacity, ingenuity and palpable desperation. We only judge a book by its cover!”

Guaranteed you will find some very familiar book covers here. Now if we can only get them to do a Dick Blade episode!

And be sure to follow them on Twitter and Facebook. Good Show Sir! Good show, indeed.
