Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: I expect hell will be similar to my Friday night… naked and flexing my fine stuff! HEYOOo… high five? High five…? No? Ok… but seriously, I want a bum on there. You can draw mine, I shaved and…. what… No? Ok… just get Ron from accounting, he works out.

Jami Comments: Actually the best part is inside when I was trying to find dates on this. It’s the dedication Asimov wrote.

“To My Mother
Of Whose Authentic Gray Hairs
Not a Few Were Caused by Myself”

Yes, that’s how it’s capitalized inside.

Durbin Comments: In a shocking development, skateboards actually happen in this novel. And there is, in fact, an elf inspiration for Sherlock Holmes. And a brief part of the novel occurs in New York City! But otherwise, the cover gives a completely misleading impression of the contents.

Frank Comments: Good thing that fern was handy, else the publisher would have had to get really blatant with that maple leaf. All the electronic equipment out among the foliage is worrisome too. I’ve seen what happens when that sort of thing is left in a damp environment and it’s not good for continued operation.

Marmontoast Comments: Evidently, there really is a bird-like entity in the novel, deciding humanity’s fate. If only it could answer its mobile phone!

Joachim Comments: Oh boy. Too many unusual creatures but I’ll give it a try… Shirtless man holding a puppy prancing across the planet with a flock of “birds”, on the back of a cockroach-like yoda-eared pig, escaping from laser beam shooting luminescent cilia-clad levitating mollusks…?

Tat Wood Comments: This is by way of adding to the conversation about recycling artwork. Ideally, it should be appended to the comments on ‘The Rod of Light’. No prizes for guessing what it originally covered, but given that Dick’s book has some pretty distinctive visual iconography (mentioned in the title) it’s a stupidly inappropriate choice.
