Best things about this cover:
- Man, I cannot wait to see Lion King 3000, it looks fucking awesome!
- Alien baby-lifting really is the best exercise for building strong lats. Look at the definition on this dude!
- I have this sick feeling he's about to bring that little guy right down on top of his helmet and all I can say is I hope this is all consensual.
- Again, I seem to have drifted into the '80s with some of my recent acquisitions. But then the '80s are to now what the '50s were to the time when I started collecting, so maybe this time shift was to be expected.
Best things about this back cover:
- Aw, jeez, nothing. One of them text-only back covers. As always, boo.
- I normally take price stickers off, but this one's not coming off without taken a huge chunk of the cover with it, so ... just gonna leave it.
- I do love that the back cover just expects you to know what a Giacometti sculpture looks like: "Look it up, you Philistines!" I guess those creatures of the cover kinda do look like the Walking Man:

This time he made no move to hinder her, and, bemused and fretful, she escaped to the frigid safety of the Platform.
"Bemused and Fretful," of course, the B-side to Talking Heads' "Crosseyed and Painless"
