Swedish Mega Post

13 Comments »

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!

The Swedish Olympic Salamander Dressage TeamOch stjärnornas konungar dö

Plot a course, Mr SuluVindarnas Planet

Swingin' medallions indeedFrämmande Rymdskepp

Moorcock! She screamedSlutstriden

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

Good Show Sir Comments Why is this cover giving me deja vu? And a free GSS Prime subscription to whoever can figure out the title.

Tom Noir Comments: Incredibly some editor thought this art was so groovy that they used it twice. It also turns up as the cover of Starsongs and Unicorns by Eric Norden. The 70’s, amirite??

Tat Wood Comments: I can’t come up with anything more damning than the blurb (crummy punctuation and all):

Post-Holocaust Paris is a pretty seedy stand-in for the original, but what can you expect when the government’s main aim is Orgasm Prevention, and when the national hero is wandering around in Nowhen…

But things are changing! Rumor hs it that the Timetraveler is coming back. In a few months. At which point, Time itself will come to an end…
