The Hunger, 1988 ed, Whitley Strieber
It probably shouldn’t come as any great surprise to anyone that I’m not particularly a fan of an “ooh, lesbian vampires” novel by the “no, honest, I know I’m a sci-fi author, but aliens totally really did abduct me” guy.
I’d tell you to just go rent the soft-core film adaptation, except that Catherine Deneuve never wore a ginchy green glitter wig in it.

A Wrinkle in Time, 1962, undated Scholastic edition, Madeleine L’Engle
It always amazes me that such an assertively Christian book gets so frequently attacked for being insufficiently concerned with doctrine.
In any case, dig that mod cover art.

The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, 1974, Steve Hart
Starring Tom Baker and John Phillip Law, who I don’t remember ever being anywhere near as shirtless as he is on the cover.

Robotech: Symphony of Light, 1987, Jack McKinney

Robotech: Metamorphosis, 1987, Jack McKinney
It’s a shame that Genesis Climber MOSPEADA got cut down so heavily to fit into the Robotech storyline, as I think it’s the best of the three stories.
That it lacks Minmei or Dana helps with that, certainly.

I’m still more than a little boggled that, in the mid-80s, they were able to get Yellow Dancer on tv.

We may need to face the fact that “Southern Cross” is just fundamentally unlikeable.

Actually, it is remotely possible that Zor is a more unlikeable character than Dana.

There is no character in the history of animation as unlikeable as Dana Sterling.
