bronze johnny Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 1 hour ago, bounty_coder said: Here is another fun one that I dig quite a bit. Love the "outdistanced death" concept. This cover always reminds me of the epigraph for John O'Hara's Appointment in Samarra: A merchant in Baghdad sends his servant to the marketplace for provisions. Soon afterwards, the servant comes home white and trembling and tells him that in the marketplace he was jostled by a woman, whom he recognized as Death, and she made a threatening gesture. Borrowing the merchant's horse, he flees at great speed to Samarra, a distance of about 75 miles (125 km), where he believes Death will not find him. The merchant then goes to the marketplace and finds Death, and asks why she made the threatening gesture. She replies, "That was not a threatening gesture, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Baghdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra." bounty_coder and Sqeggs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could just as easily be saying "Run Runner!". Cool cover in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
