    Also, she's practically naked, while he's armored from head to toe. Maybe the Russian title is something like "The Coward."

    Nah. It roughly translates to "even our snowy regions are warm."

    That is something that passed my mind as well. Perhaps she functions as a distraction. If the dragon is busy killing her, he kills the dragon. I suppose the dragon would prefer some tender meat without much packaging over some meat in full armour.

    LOL - could be!

    CTTOI, she only has one arrow, so there's no way she's killing that dragon on her own.

    Her hair is tied back, so she is not being frivolous.

    A business colleague of mine is a YUGE The Who fan, and he collects Entwhistles' are. He believes (not confirmed) that he has the 2nd biggest collection of John Entwhistles art.

    Plenty going on in the covers of Claude Martin, known for his work for The Winter Tree, Nad Sylvan, etc. as can be seen in this little movie:

    Ok, no mystery here, but this has to be one of the dumber covers I've seen. Even with the silly pun or whatever, it's just pretty lame. I guess it's what Hipgnosis would have come up with when those guys were five years old.

    How do you say, "This is a concept album about Peter Pan" without saying it's about Peter Pan.

    A lot of the usuas suspects on The Samurai Of Prog-albums, like Marek Arnold, Marco Bernard, Steve Unruh and Kimmo Pösti.
    I'm surprised nobody mentioned Matthew Parmeter from Discipline though.

    I didn’t notice Parmenter in there! I listened to the first two tracks and it sounded weak, but now I need to try and find Parmenter on there.

    Those guys (under the Samurai of Prog umbrella) really churn out the formulaic symph prog stuff, I can't even keep track of it all anymore. That new one above is literally the twelfth album since the pandemic started. I know a few of those are officially credited to various members rather than the group name, but I'm fairly sure most or all of them tend to be involved.
