Marvin Comments On the downside, he is a slave to the robot brains. On the plus side, ants-at-the-picnic problem solved!

You might remember this from here.

Jonathan Art Direction: What’s this? I told you the giant ant needs to be wearing a top hat. We’ll have to fix it with typography.

Tag Wizard Comments: Jonathan also helpfully forwards the note on the copyright page: ‘The Large Ant’ originally published as ‘The Big Ant’

Mr. Spock Megapost

16 Comments »

We’ve got submitted Spock covers coming out our pointy ears so it’s a good time to toss them all together into a Mr. Spock Megapost! Credit where credit is due but there are some unknown artists and publishers in this mix.

Good Show Sir Comments:

1. Yes we are both threatened by the giant ants. Why do you persist in yelling Me Too?

2. I wish to be now known as Father Spock.

3. “Airing … grievances … lot of problems … you people … gonna hear it …”

4. Next time let’s not get our publicity shots posing in the Sears Portrait Studio.

5. Sorry. I don’t know what happened. I’ve never lost my Vulcan Death Grip before.

A classic 70's date... knife-fight some monsters, then off to the roller disco!Click for full image

Frank Comments: This is clearly of the 1970s, a fantasy warrior knife-fighting pose, but in disco dress, with zodiac symbols in the background. And big bugs! Seriously, I looked at it to see if it was an update of “The Radio Man” for the Disco Years. It wasn’t.

And this beast is the one I bravely shot with my sniper rifle from a mile away.Click for full image

I’m thinking book covers are normally so unrealistic. They have things that are so unbelievable it would make your mother cry. Not us! I propose, a photographic quality drawing of a military man placing his shined boot on the head of his latest kill: a giant ant insect alien creature. It will be just like they are back in the great war…. with aliens…
