Andrea Comments: I get that the artist was trying to convey the strangeness of this world, but she didn’t have to shove so many characters awkwardly together on the page. The guy sitting up on the bed is seriously going to dislocate his shoulder. And on the back cover, there’s the world’s world 80s hair metal outfit (fur legwarmers and matching vest, with bare chest and sandals!)

Dead Stuff With Big Teeth comments: Theodore Sturgeon’s plan was to explain everything about the novel, except the cover. And no, that is not a huge obnoxious lens flare or an errant price tag.

Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: Remember that time you walked in on your parents as they were making your brother? Yeah… if you could sum up all those feelings and put it into the expressions of the main characters, who must be wearing caped onesies. Instant classic… though you might need some more therapy afterwards.
