Bob Larkin: The Snail on the Slope (1989)



Well, this is a pretty self-explanatory cover painting: there’s a snail on a slope. Three, in fact! And a guy in a dress. Oh, wait, there’s a naked woman, too—now I KNOW it’s a Bob Larkin masterpiece! :D

This wraparound cover painting was done for the English translation of a Russian science fiction novel. It’s a little difficult to spot Bob’s signature on the back, given that the UPC box is sitting on top of it, but Bob confirmed it as one of his.

By the way, the part of the man in the minidress (or whatever it is) was played by renowned cover model Robert Larkin. Check out dem gams!
