I've read a number of these books in their original English, but these covers make them seem new and strange. As far as I can recall, no Bob Shaw novel I ever came across featured a one-armed woman in her undies and a man in a wheelchair watching the moon explode. It seems like the sort of thing I'd remember.
Much, much more here.

Completamente folle!
These covers are completely 'out there' and make the weirder efforts from the Anglophone world look relatively staid.
It's always good to see a gorilla wearing a monocle.
If you ever read a comic called 'Doom Patrol' (either the original 1960s version by Arnold Drake, or the 1990s version by Grant Morrison, both highly recommended), you can rejoice in a pair of villains who go by the names Monsieur Mallah and The Brain. The first is a super-intelligent French-speaking gorilla who is in love with the second, a super-intelligent brain in a jar.
I have nominated you for the SPLASH award.
Thank you, Natasha! I'm going to have to put some thought into my own nominations. More soon!
