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

Is there another candidate cover here?
