Clarion Publishing has unveiled the covers for next year’s re-publication of His Majesty’s Starship and Jeapes Japes …

Both excellent pieces of artwork by Dominic Harman. Tell me they aren’t nice!

I’m especially pleased with the cover for HMSS, which (I think) was once an Interzone cover … or was it … well, wherever it was that I first saw it, it’s stuck in my mind and I’m delighted we get to use it. As for resemblance to contents, ahem, well, the book has spaceships. And planets.

The cover for Japes is pretty nifty too, though I’ll be the first to admit that resemblance to contents is … um. Whatever comes below ‘minimal’ ‘Zero’? But that is made up for by the nice use of Star Wars-ish font, and more to the point, it’s my book.
