It’s a Two-fer Tuesday: New Romancer Foreign Edition Special

Good Show Sir Comments:

1. Winner of the Philip Dick-Award for questionable hyphenation.

2. No. You should only wash Claude on the “delicates” setting.

Thanks to Helmut and Alain!

Ryan Comments: Yes, Mr. Graves, I loved your first book. Can the sequel be set in the future and contain more nudity and also a multiplicity of enormous snakes?

Sally B. Comments: I can’t figure out what’s happening with his girlfriend. Is her left arm exploding? Is he sitting on her right foot?

Ryan Comments: Tor delivers unto us the ultimate GSS-spec cover: No visible feet, useless feminine armor, Baen-Orange hues, multiple celestial bodies way too close to each other, busty cover babe, and enormous phallic swords.

Ryan Comments: More realism and literal interpretations on the cover, you say, but avoid feet at any cost? OK then, take a look at this one.

Zoom in to further enjoy Fire Dancer, Dancer’s Luck, and Dancer’s Illusion!

Good Show Sir Comments: One of our little birds sent us a link to the Smart Bitches Trashy Books blog from a few years past, wallowing in the glory of terrible Ann Maxwell book covers. We’ve skewered a few in the past such as this one, and this one. This Signet series of “Dancer Series” covers has us doffing out hat and saying Good Show Sir! Good show, indeed.

Sadly, all three covers are by a graduate of the Unknown Artist Institute, as per isfdb.org.
