Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: We need something to symbolise life… like a man breaking out of a box, a box that’s sort of shaped like a man. I know! Put Alfred Hickcock’s head on that box as a hunky man breaks free! What doesn’t that say about life?

Frank Comments: I get the idea the artist read the teaser on the first page, “WHAT’S SO SPLENDID ABOUT WESTERN CULTURE THAT YOU WANT TO SPREAD IT ALL OVER THE GALAXY? I TELL YOU THERE’S SOMETHING ON TRIOPUS THAT CAN NEVER BE REMADE.” …and painted something that you probably wouldn’t want to remake even if you could.

Don Comments: If you were surrounded by a tribble with fangs, Dennis the Menace, the girl from Season 1 of THE TOMORROW PEOPLE, a corpse, a skeletal alien, a streaker, a horse and an off-panel Robin Hood, you’d be all “WTF?!” too.
