Editor: Okay, the title is Sleepwalker’s World…
Artist: And what you want? An alien in pajamas who walks on a starship in construction? Please!
Editor: Well, no. See, this is a story about a superman-like astronaut in a world where every night everybody but a few elect acts like zombies, and he must stop some ancient conspirator ruled by a giant bug with a baby face with the help of the sister…
Artist: Whoa whoa whoa, too much information! Listen, I’ll put a naked girl on the cover, and maybe something else about the story. Any idea?
Editor: Well, the guy is helped by a super-intelligent lycaon…
Artist: What the hell is a lycaon?
Editor: It’s an african wild dog with Mickey Mouse ears.
Artist: …
Editor: …
Artist: Uhm, lycaon… lycon… lyon… That’s it! I’ll put a lion head in the corner, Trust me, it will be FABULOUS!!!

They really had no need to put the lion on this one. At all. I bet it still sold though!

I think we need a censored version of the censored version, since this is more disturbing than the uncensored version.
Kinda ironically dig the typeface up on top, though.

I always knew Aslan was up to no good.
FurtureScientist> I agree the font on top is very good.

“So how did those heads end up on her breasts?”
“Nanotechnology.”
“Ah, modern Hard SF.”

Why is the woman wearing a wig made from the lion’s mane? Although I suppose she was considerate enough not to chop any off to make a merkin.
