The Dun Darach cover painting caused a fair stir - some readers reported seeing the magazine on newsagents' top shelves - though the subject matter is really only a fond reworking of many a pulp SF/sword-and-sorcery theme. As usual, Oliver did not move far away from the Spectrum references either; note the rainbow colouring of Skar's cloak and the air round her. Perhaps the erotic connotations of having a man in bondage to a woman, even if a sorceress, were too much for some chauvinist CRASH readers, who would feel the same about Issue 31 with its Hannah Smith cover. |
