Jaouad Comments: Don’t really know what’s going on here, but I’m immoderately fascinated by the robot in the background, which appears to be gift-wrapping some other robot, lying on a table. ‘Tis the season?

Clay Comments:This junior-high rendition of what seems to be a mad scientist and his platinum-haired babe along with their webbed victims has absolutely nothing to do with this book. Bryant is a very literary writer with a New Wave bent.

Jon Comments: I know those Moorcock/Mayflower covers are like shooting fish in a barrel, but I needed something to go with my chips. I actually got the man himself to sign my copy recently and I told him I felt the film version was underrated. He agreed with me, with the minor change of “under” to “over”. Seemed a nice bloke, though.
