Bibliomancer’s Art Direction:OK so you painted an awesome space fire monster, and the iron moons are cool, and you even got the starfield in the corner, but aren’t you forgetting something? Yeah, girl ass. And make it blue. She’s an alien. You think these paperbacks just sell themselves?”

Joachim Comments: The sci-fi cover equivalent of any of Edward Wood Jr.’s B-movies — a stock photo combined with a child’s drawing of a muscleman in a loin cloth.

Tom Noir Comments: The smirk on this fellow’s face says, “Underneath this desk, I’m not wearing trousers.” Because when you’re a dinosaur sea-captain with a fancy sash, who’s going to make you?

Jaouad Comments: I have no mouth, but I have a double chin & a sousaphone ear with tiny people creeping out of it & a plum floating above my eye & something which looks vaguely like a grape in my other eye & two tiny legs and and… I MUST SCREAM!

Corwin Comments: The first time I saw this cover, I couldn’t take my off off it for at least 5 minutes in macabre fascination. The art work is amazingly detailed, right down to the untied shoe laces. Even so, three car wrecks, a space ship, and an alligator make for quite a combination with Jeff Martini and Katherine “Kitty” Katt.

Might be comedy, but I can’t resist a space alligator!
Many thanks to Corwin!
Matt’s Art Direction: I don’t care what’s on the cover. Just make it difficult to look at. I want a cover so jarring to the senses that you can barely read the title.
