Front Cover
Another ebay rescue job from Leo Ferrandino who I thought contributed three, but apparently my notes were wrong, so Leo week continues. This one resembles the other paint jobs we’ve seen (complete with a bit of finger painting it looks like in the brown… stuff? at the bottom of the cover). Also the writing is the same psuedo-crusty pointy font that metal bands later used then was co-opted by black metal bands. Of course, an upside down cross seems very apropos.
Front Cover:
OK, this is the last of the quartet of submissions from Leo Ferrandino, sorry about that last post and thanks again (again!).
Guess the guys and gals got tired of magic markers, and moved on to finger paints. Only a partial cover from an ebay auction (probably pre-dating the common ownership of digital cameras, as this looks like it was done on a scanner – hence the partial cover). The brown splatter on the right hand side of the picture looks a little like it might be related to Variation #10. Maybe not, but that’s the purpose of this blog, rank speculation.
Front and Back Cover
This cover comes courtesy of Zeno Marx – posted over on the WITBAWDTSL board. Is it an hair extension factory gone wrong? Is it a volcano exploding? Is it Sideshow Bob hiding behind a tree stump? I guess we’ll have to live with these questions being unanswered in our lives. Nice pentagram at the bottom though.
