Radiano’s Art Direction
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!!!
Published 1977

Actually, that cover IS a classical work of artI would touch it without protective glovesI have seen worse. Far, far worseInteresting, but I would still read it in publicMiddling: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lamé picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning! Feels so good!Good Show, Sir.... Good Show! (Average: 7.71 out of 10)

    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.

    Looks cold on that planet–she is all blue and look at those goosebumps!
