I missed a few Space Crowd Saturdays, so here's a catchup post featuring three sleazy cyberpunk bars: Barclay Shaw's 1990 cover art for Illegal Alien, by James Luceno; James Warhola's 1987 cover art for Tales from the Spaceport Bar, edited by Darrell Schweitzer and George H. Scithers; and an 80s-era Bud Light promo poster by Gary Ruddell.
Two of these three artworks appear to have references to the Alien franchise in them, marking another insight into the Space Crowd trope: Artists occasionally use the format to sneak in references and in-jokes. (Check my alt text for more info on that)

A Night in the Lonesome October (1993) was Roger Zelazny’s last novel published during his lifetime and it remains one of my all time favorite books. I’ve read it…so many times I’ve lost count? Each chapter is a day of the month, like a spooky advent calendar, and that sort of lent itself to annual readings for a long time.
The idea is that every time there is a full moon on Halloween, the boundaries between world grow thin. Enterprising folks desiring fundamental change generally gather to open the door to the old ones, while others stand to keep the door closed. It plays out as a sort of game, with identities, allegiances and powers kept secret until the last possible moment. Thus far, the closers have always one, but on this particular Halloween in the late 1800s, there’s no telling who will win the night. That’s because the players are a cast of familiar faces — the Great Detective, the Count, the Good Doctor and his Experiment Man, a man named Jack who’s good with a knife. Each has a familiar. Jack’s is a dog named Snuff: he narrates the tale.
There’s something about how it all comes together — the anthropomorphic animals, the references to classic horror films and stories, the hidden agendas and Gahan Wilson’s delightfully creepy illustrations. It’s a hoot. I love it. I think more folks should read it, but it seems destined to be beloved by a small but loyal readership.
James Warhola did the cover — it’s a bit smooth for my taste, but I admit, I’ve puzzled over who is who in it for many hours at this point.
