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:
1. Swedish dominatrix says “your safe word is Ochstjärnornaskonungardö”
2. Flavour-sealed for freshness
3. Busted by the fashion police
4. Sluts-a-ridin’
Published 1969-1971

It’s a Two-fer Tuesday: Ravin’ Raven Rave
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.
Published 1978, 1987

Bellatrix Art Direction: “I told you over the phone the title was “The Big Guy”. Never mind. It’s easier to change the title than redo the cover.”
