B. Chiclitz Comments: “The hills are alive, With a lightning-laced wormhole, And a phallic bridge to nowhere, And a band from—wha?”

Dead Stuff with Big Teeth’s Art Direction: On our cover, we won’t show ANYTHING. But legs. Lots of legs. We got a volume discount on legs.

Tat Wood Comments: Remember this? Well here’s how France saw it. Neither is entirely representative, this being a novel about an Australian sheep-shearer (in Space!) who buys Earth at a department store. Sort of. The sad thing is, Cordwainer Smith wrote extensively about cat-people but the artists never got the hint.
Published 1980 (maybe)
Sergio Comments: I found this British edition in a local store (meaning Portugal). The shininess of this cover is not only because of reflection, that thing’s ears and mouth are actually emanating light. And what is that thing? My best bet is demon-rat monster from hell…

I can’t resist posting a new cover!
We are back! With a few… errors!
Dead Stuff with Big Teeth Comments:
“But, I don’t see anything…”
“KEEP GOING, I SAID!”
“Look. Do you even know what a dragon is? Do you know what one looks like…?”
“FASTER!”

Well we had Paris yesterday… or Blackpool… or Las Vegas… anyway, it’s a loose tie-in!
Many thanks to Tat Wood who sent these in ages ago but have been sitting around due to site problems. Which, I might add, are still being looked at – I swear!

Joachim Comments: 80s cyberpunk covers are generally bad but this one is a special kind of bad…
Published 1990
You might remember this from here!
Rachel and Thomas comment: In the book, the cover girl struggles with anxiety, depression, an estranged family, substance abuse, an eating disorder, self-harming, fits of violence, illiteracy, poor self-esteem, and the titular lycanthropy. It is just plain cruel to make her poorly drawn as well.

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.
Star Crowned Kings published 1975
Up to the Sky in Ships published 1982
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.
