Look at track-suit bloke’s left leg. Cover up the rest of the picture and consider what position someone stood like that would normally adopt. Then look at the position the rest of his body’s in. Ouch.
@Tat Wood: Are you advocating for an “anatomical issues” tag?
So, is the golden guy testing out his new muscle suit, or what? Did he build it like that to compensate for secretly being puny? Why are the people with tubes coming out of their heads watching? Is this some sort of combat-by-champion thing? Where do the tentacles come from?
And most importantly of all, why does our hero have an awful ’70s haircut?
@A.R. Yngve—”Oh, if only!” Do you mean if only we could all warp through to a different dimension and live an alternate history? Please let me know if you find the entrance ramp.
So many questions! Is golden man wearing pants? Would he explode like Robyn Hitchcock’s eponymous balloon man if pricked with a pin? Are those tentacle trees or the Dark Young of Shub Niggurath cheering on the combatants? And why oh why, if you poses a firearm, would you allow overly muscular man to approach to within melee distance?

Planet of the Warlord is actually a role-playing male strip club featuring tenticle porn. Popular for bachelorette parties.

The medical students were stunned at the results of Dr. Warlord’s latest surgical experimentation.

Aiming for a retro vibe. Generating a stupid vibe.

They need you Gordon… in the test chamber.

Do the dudes behind the window have their pigtails tied together?

On the planet of the warlord, offering a high-five is a major faux pas.

The new Saudi state executioner starts with Kevin Bacon. “Who’s footloose now?”

In no way was this scene influenced by Vader v Luke.

I like how they capitalized ‘the’ but not ‘of’.
Covers like this are all about consistency.

@Tom Noir—I guess they wanted to be sure we understood that this was not any old run of the mill GI Joe-jointed Warlord, but, dammit, The Warlord.

@DSWBT #3 – Maybe those lab-grown flagellum have agar management issues.
Aside: I hope you’re a guy because I think I have a crush on you.

@HBw: Nice one! And, I’m flattered but hitched. 😉

Heh. I remember this one from the school library. Actually based on the contents of the book

@DSWBT – Just thought I’d say. 🙂
