I’ve linked to the Project Gutenberg page for this book. The winged people and the Neolithic weapons are in the text, tho I can’t remember anything about marzipan mountaintops…
I always wonder with shirtless covers if chest hair is really hard to draw or something. Even romance novels involving werewolves tend to show the guy hairless. And this was drawn in the ’70s. Wasn’t being hairy a good thing back then and manscaping something in the distant future?
@fred – maybe if she stopped trying to awkwardly cop a feel on Captain Shirtless there she’d be able to concentrate better on which side of the dagger is up.
The demon looks like he’s wearing Batman’s utility belt….Hey, maybe the man-bat guy was upset to find out there’s a guy going around trying to impersonate him by calling himself Batman. I wonder if Bruce Wayne has any bat-repellant? Oh wait, the other guy’s got the belt…

“Are you sure you put the demon-repellent spray in your pocket? I can’t feel it.”

“Which end am I supposed to stab him with? I’ve never used a knife before.”

Here’s a quote from the actual book at Project Gutenberg:
“Lord!” ejaculated Sinclair. “They are still there!” And he fell to his knees, sobbing.
Not by William Burroughs, I swear, but Edgar Rice Burroughs.

He is sure sure sure, that he can beat this thing.

Um, like, you know, maybe try aiming the pointy ends of those daggers at what’s trying to kill you?

And let’s not think too hard about Shirtless Man turning his back on Bikini Woman, while holding onto Winged Man’s long pole.

Careful, you’ll have someone’s eye out with that!

Which stone-age world of monsters, despotic inhumans, and hot desperate nearly-naked young women is Caspak again?

On further reflection, I gotta say: I would wield this cover on the bus with pride!

Seems no one ever thinks of using a *shield* in this kind of book…

Does possessing wings disqualify one for the pole-vault?
