If I can just cut this sash I can lose the midget and outrun these angry aliens. Click for full image

Bibliomancer’s Art Direction: A centaur-babe with an evil papoose devil-baby being chased by an alien army that looks like surfboards with eyes. Have that on my desk by five! And don’t forget the purse!

This character in no way resembles any other clown from any other incredibly famous series who uses a huge flower and larger hammer. IN NO WAY!Click for full image

Rachel Comments: Sarah Silverman was miffed. Reading the script for their buddy cop comedy, she had been under the impression *he* was supposed to be the straight man.

And there is the only corridor my space microlight can actually fit down...Click for full image

Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: Imagine the future, my friend… men will be either glowing silver pillars of greatness or riding around on space microlights. Women? Well they’ll be in skintight body suits and stay on their knees all day. Sexist? No not at all, people will look back at this cover and see our predictions as genius! I think…

Well... I preferred when we had the pacman table...Click for full image

Max Comments: I read the paperback version of this back in the day and it had a nice cover which represented the content of the book quite well. This original hardback, on the other hand, has none of those things. It’s a barbarian and perhaps an elf-woman on thrones, in hell, staring into a satanic-goat-festooned portal to THE COSMOS. The back’s got some crystal pyramids on it.
