Itsy-Bitsy Teeny-Weeny Aquamarine Heels and Mini. I hope she doesn't bend over! Of course, that's not the phallic aspect. We all know why unicorns only consort with virgins, right? Am I right?
Ummmm, yeah. Okay then. What is it about men and their need to conflate God with Penis? Or am I being a feminazi?
Maughta to the fathership, you are safe for entry. I like how the name Bova contains the word "ova" which is so nicely juxtaposed with this....erm...ship. You want a closer look?
Oh-h-h-h-h-h-h yeah!
Hope you've enjoyed this prurient trip into the phallocentric universe. Beam me up, Scotty.

Wow. Um.
Yeah.
Wow.
I've read the entire Dune series, and never really noticed that cover.
Yeah.
I had to go back for a second look to tell that the Bova book actually had a title. I guess Bova's a big enough name that the title's unimportant. Patricia Cornwall could write a book called You're a Stupid Conformist Asshat If You Buy This Book and it would sell like hotcakes. I think Asimov's last book was titled Some Shit I Thought Up While on the Can. It didn't matter: millions of fifteen-year-old undersexed geeks still spent months memorizing passages from it and debating how realistic were the physics of the eternally wind-swept ice planet of ever-virginal vixens.
Nice homage to Al Scaduto, by the way. Al is the man. If ever there is to be a man, then Al is to be that man.
BEN BOVA colonizes your womb!
So, is the unicorn Scottish?
I had that happen Saturday too, when we found out they're making a movie of Elric.
Elric has an enormous sentient broadsword that makes him do bad things.
A REEELY big broadsword.
p-dog,
you can't mention Elric and humongous longswords without mentioning the author's name.
Moorcock! Moorcock! And he was BORN with that name, he claims!
I had a friend in college whose last name was Morehead, and she cursed it every day.
Actually, Bova's colony is a NASA design from the 70's...

(not that it doesn't look phallic, but it actually WAS a design of a space colony)
The two Astonishing Stories covers by Gabriel Mayorga are also very prime examples.
I am sorry that just looks like Ben Ova which when said out loud kinda sounds like bend over which I guess goes great with the cover art
