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!

Good Show Sir Comments: Quoth the Raven: “Who’s a whore?”
1. When it came to naming time, it was gonna be either “Raven” or “Great Tit”
2. Better not get any blood on this outfit. It’s a bitch to dry clean.
Thanks to Arthur Dent for the first.
