The editorial brief was simple enough: make something out of Samantha Fox Strip Poker and Starstrike II. It was an inhibiting notion, and one which Oliver left till he could no longer avoid doing the illustration. With this cover, a very popular one, it is the strength and dynamism of Oliver's composition that makes it work at all. He was pleased with the effect, but in general he hated the illustration and felt it was rather like a poorly-licensed game - the subject was unsuitable for an exciting picture. |
