@TW: I draw your attention to the cat person, or possibly cat-masked luchador, beneath yonder snake.

@DSWBT – I pondered long and hard on that fellow and couldn’t decide if he was more cat person or bear person and decided to go with strange creature instead.

Because Lord Cedric would have sounded ridiculous.

That miniature city is adorable! Is it HO scale or 1:72?

She’s got calves the size of cantaloupes
and cantaloupes the size of calves.

Needs a better blurb…
‘THE CORONATION STREET EPISODE YOU NEVER IMAGINED!’

@THX 1138—I thought it was “Lord Frederic,” of Hollywood.

@B’Mancer—”cantaloupes the size of calves.” I assume you mean four-legged, bovine calves—an udderly brilliant post.

Lord Tedric….really can’t say what he’s doing here. Interpretive dancing?

@B.Chiclitz – Of course you can see her calves. She’s wearing a very re-veal-ing outfit.

I think this composition demonstrates artistic integrity. Frowny Redcape there has two swords. TWO!!!!! Imagine how tempting it would be to lovingly illustrate both swords and increase the awesomeness quotient by an estimated 7%. However, emphasis on the second sword would have pulled attention to the lower right — away from the true focal point in the upper left quadrant. (Mysteriously close to the semi-clad bosoms.)

@B’Mancer—your posts are always moo-sic to my ears!

Judging by the looks the impractically-dressed damsel and the floating head are exchanging, they may just be in collusion for some reason – possibly to destroy the muscle-bound hero, get the head a new body and get the damsel a proper bra.

Question: does the presence of an anaconda that wants some imply that she got buns, hun?

Perhaps this is Channel Four’s plan for Sir Alun’s the Apprentice ?

‘Who’s responsible for this abomination of a cover?’
‘Number one, Lord Tedric. Number two, Gordon Eklund. Number three, E.E. “Doc” Smith…’

^ Well, to be fair, Doc was long dead when they decided to make a “new series” based on something he had written 20 years before.
September 26th, 2016 at 3:00 pm
@DSWBT – None of the above.
Number Four – Gray Morrow

Is this the new Fantastic Four? Doctor Doom seems unimpressed in the background.

To be fair, the cover does feature BOTH male and female cleavage.
