Oh my sweet lord… this cover is a veritable buffet of B-movie so-bad-it’s-awesome-ness!
Apart from the truly magnificent title (a form of aquatic porn I’d NEVER have imagined) the fact that it’s “The Shark Who Rode a Seahorse – 5!” (It’s already happened four times before?)
And then you have “The Man-Love Collection” in the bottom-left corner, juxtaposing so sweetly with “Mate or Meal.” Clearly it’s tough for a seahorse, having a deadly predator as a boyfriend. (Mind you, it DOES look as if they photographed the shark and the seahorse while they were in the middle of a massive lover’s tiff…)
As for the two guys… oh, to have been a fly on the wall when they told one of those guys “No, you’re representing the seahorse, actually…”
Bonus: pedophilia.
Looks like a NAMBLA recruitment poster. Yuck.
In what dimension is this a “classic”?

I guess that it would be pointless to raise the size incongruities between the seahorse and the shark.
“Mate or Meal” so … a pedophilia/cannibalism mash-up? Lovely.
Still loving that Manlove Collection Logo.
When I saw it again my heart made a ‘Skree!’ nose…
I need to go to the hospital now, but it was worth it.
Needs. More. Fonts.
