And the back, "Naked Love," well, this is probably what the Spock on the front is really thinking about, being naked being kissed by naked Kirk. Fully frontally naked, Spock is a gorgeous sight.

"Happy Spock" Back cover by Shelley Butler. Ah, looking at the innocence of the front cover, I was ready to proceed to the living room with my zine for a rainy afternoon's pleasure. Then I flipped it over. Ms. Butler has been naughty! Spock has an erection that fairly shouts his desire for his human. And no wonder! That same Human's lips are caressing his Vulcan smile. A human whose fingers have just found a hard Vulcan nipple. Very erotic and exciting! These bodies are magnificent, strong and muscular, yet the pose shouts sensitivity and tenderness. Once more something we have come to expect from this skilled artist. Kirk's lower half fades into the leafy border, depriving us of seeing a matching display of desire, but that's ok, his hands and lips say it all. I know when I slip a discreet cover over my zine Spock is going to turn the quarter turn that will bring him fully into Jim's arms. And that magnificent penis will slip into the welcoming warmth it seeks. Shelley's art truly speaks volumes and this is an impressive volume indeed.
