Who doesn’t love Swedish sci-fi covers?! Recall the fun we all had with Skeppsbruten på Tschai last year. We recently stumbled upon the delightful WordPress blog “enlitenbloggomrymden” (“small blog space”) which has a wealth of terrible covers from the publisher Lindqvist. These were published from 1969-1971 and I’ve included a few of our favourites below. Have at them and enjoy!

Och stjärnornas konungar dö

Vindarnas Planet

Främmande Rymdskepp

Slutstriden

Good Show Sir Comments:

2. Flavour-sealed for freshness

3. Busted by the fashion police

4. Sluts-a-ridin’

Ernie the Muppet Comments:
♫ One Of These Things (Is Not Like The Others)
One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song? ♫
