David Jollie Comments: Don’t bother reading the book, just take a guess at what might be in it. Okay, so you think there should be an eyeball and some lips. Okay. On fire? Really? And a cow’s skull with a Tiara on? Well…. Okay.

Honourable Mentions 16

25 Comments »

It has been a while since we’ve had an Honourable Mention post, so following are some of the recent doozies that didn’t meet our strict, fiercely-enforced rules for cover submissions. Enjoy!

Leah Comments: I know it’s a tie-in, but this is definitely worthy of an Honorable Mention. That lettering is not actually black, it is bright orange metallic foil. I think it says a great deal that the picture is an accurate depiction of the featured aliens.

Leah Comments: Another Honorable-Mention-worthy tie-in. Working title: ‘Attack of the Fifty-Foot Fop’.
