Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: When bikers talk to each other they usually never take off their helmets right? Well have one on there twiddling his thumbs like he’s trying to borrow 20p to buy some sweets at the school tuck-shop!

Sffgeek Comments: I would like to suggest an additional category – covers using stock images completely irrelevant to the book’s content.

Rachel J Comments: No, my tagline is not stolen, and yes, my hair does have a life of its own. Now excuse me while I attack forty lens flares, a doorway, a glowing mist and a block of high-rise flats with my trusty katana.

Joachim’s Art Direction: One-eyed sex runts. No other words are necessary….

MisterBob’s Art Direction: Are there any flowers on Jupiter? Bet they look alien, paint one with the planet behind.

Colette’s Art Direction: I want an attractive couple on another planet who wear ribbons instead of actual clothing. But I guess we need something that will make it seem horrible AND sexy, so can you add a long trail of golden ectoplasm to the woman’s lower body? It should imply “you have radiant womb” and not “you should immediately see a doctor about that.”

Jeremy’s Art Direction: We need the most evil guy ever. Ever! And the goofiest looking assassin you can muster!

Here we are again! It’s been a while for the old honourable mentions but it’s come to that time of year when a can of irn-bru and chocolate is considered an acceptable breakfast!
So if you are having a weekend off I hope you enjoy it and if not… well enjoy these covers that don’t quite make our high standards but we think deserve a special mention.
Have fun!
Good Show Sir Comments: I love Mark Hamill’s pose on this one. It’s got that, “Why are you drawing me?” Look.
Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: Well I like these three drawings you’ve done. I know! Lets just put them all together on the cover.
Matthew’s Art Direction: I want the scariest-looking monster that you can think of on the front!
Stripey Baz Comments: I’m no purveyor of romance novels or indeed Norwegian literature, but I’m pretty sure that it’s not a good thing to have a mutton-chopped blaggard slap a fair maiden across her face. Given the angle that he’s standing at, his body must have twisted like one of those plastic toy action figures…
Patrick Comments: They might well look worried.
