At What Point Do You Start Screaming?

There are some covers that just thoroughly baffle me sometimes. Like this one. I don’t know what the artist is going for here (or what the heck the author asked for on the cover requisition form or something), but… this looks an awful lot like… a porny X-Files fan art mixed with… Will & Grace?!? How weird is that? It’s too bad ’cause dude looks like a better-looking, smoldering Eric McCormack, with shades of David Duchovny. Oddly enough, there’s something… umm… magician-like about him. Like his specialty is being able to get out of a padlocked box or something. As for the woman (?), she looks like… Wynonna Judd by way of a semi-attractive drag queen. Good Science, just look at that hair. Is she going for… Heart’s Nancy Wilson circa Alone or something? Science, I think a family of swallows could be living… in that thing on top of her head. Why the huge hair? Why the hooker outfit? Why are their heads so huge in comparison to their bodies? Why am I not running to the kitchen and stabbing out my eyes with a kitchen knife?

You kids may thank Marumae for sending us this cover.

    There’s something wrong with her neck! Like it was broken and put back together — as in “Death Becomes Her”!

    Me, I’m seeing Peg Bundy from “Married… with Children.”

    Not that I *want* to be seeing that, but what can you do.

    You know, I can’t really tell because my monitor here at work is really crappy - but that guy looks like Brad from The Young & The Restless…..

    Why does she have a black eye? Did he give it to her? FOR THE HAIR????

    Oh it’s all clear now. He’s her gay friend and instead of letting her go out looking like that he beat her bloody, messed up her hair and ripped her shirt! That’s why she’s wearing that and looking like that! IT HAS TO BE!!!

    *whimpers*

    That hair looks photoshopped. For all the wrong reasons.

    I agree with E.D’Trix. That’s what I thought, too.

    I am delurking to say that I literally screamed out loud when I saw that cover. I may need to go lie down for awhile to recover.

    Is it just me, or do they look like they might have built that city on Rock ‘n’ Roll?
