Billy Awesome’s Art Direction: This cover needs a reptilian lady of the night and her pimp, and a pixie-hatted space businessman. Oh, and something something time travel, so put a couple of proper Victorians and one of those tricorn hat guys in there somewhere. Tie it all together with an orange Creamsicle theme.

Billy Awesome Comments: Says on the back here that “The diadem that crowned the head of Aleytys was in contact with her central nervous system – and invisible to outsiders.” I don’t know what a diadem is, so make her whole outfit invisible, just to be safe.

Tom Noir Comments: They’ve gone to extraordinary lengths here to make sure nothing on this cover makes any sense. I wonder if it as drawn with the same yellow highlighter that the author used to get high while he was writing the book?

Rachel Comments: There’s high-octane, adrenaline-flooding, heart-bursting, ground-pounding, high-speed tracking going on. Somewhere.

Frank Comments: First we have The Star-Crowned Kings a Daw Books publication. I haven’t read it so don’t know what the lady-in-chain has to do with the story. But, I thought, she looks familiar, and I thought I knew where I’d seen her before: Up to the Sky in Ships, a NESFA Press collection of some of A. Bertram Chandler’s short stories. Chandler and Freas were Guests of Honor at that year’s Worldcon, which was the occasion for the book. I guess it was thought that this would be offered to a more adult audience and so the model got to stand up for this painting, so we could all see that the lady-in-chain really is a blonde.

It’s dos-a-dos like an Ace Double and if you flip it over you see the cover for the other collection of shorts in the book, this one from Lee Hoffman.
Good Show Sir Comments: Look out Jeff, we’ve got a T-Rex… and he doesn’t look impressed with my one-piece body suit.
