Are these Frazetta covers? I always liked his work, particular on the Conan paperbacks. Too bad you don't really see work like his on book covers any more

Seems so. At least The Moon Men.

Oh, and you can totally do covers like that these days.
If the ladies are fat.
Or blackwashed.

It's not about whether you can do covers like those. It's that publishers generally don't. They tend to go for some minimalist modern art crap

For example, this is the cover of Goldfinger from the 2000s, that I've got

Nice pulp cover, really evocative of the 50s when the book is set.

This is what the in-print UK edition looks like

It's just some fucking text.

The first cover, if I didn't know anything about Ian Fleming or Bond or Goldfinger and I picked that up at a book store or whatever, the cover would make me want to read it. The second one is just so dull. It really looks like the publisher just spent like five minutes on photoshop or whatever and gave it no more thought than that

I assume the big crossover here is autism.

Oh, fuck me. It’s censorship, plain and simple - and over the stupidest shit, too.

This is what you get for hiring sensitivity anythings.

It's not censorship, they are improving the novels so everyone can enjoy.
