Star Wars cover: looks like AI crossed with bad early-00s or late-90s computer-assisted-or-generated art
Rocannon’s World: first is just awful computer crap, second looks like a bad imitation of Zardoz
UKLG short story collection: girl looks paunchy.
TLHOD: first cover has....nothing whatsoever to do with the book as I recall, second one…why would someone read TLHOD and think “they should have no arms”?
Dispossessed: first one made me think of the Simpsons joke where someone shoves piles of money into a bag with a large $ sign on it, and someone else (Krusty? Mayor Quimby? Can’t remember) says they should pick something more discreet than a bag with a large dollar sign on it…it also made me think of the silly “greedy Jew wringing his hands and grinning” racist image that was viral for awhile (hopefully not anymore, but this IS 2025, y’know.) Second one…well, that girl in the drunken pseudo-rape scene WAS bald and topless…
