The Zarbi/Web Planet looks quite dull, although the Zarbi itself looks pretty good.
Twin Dilemma looks better than the cover we ended up getting, and it's nice to see Colin on a cover of one of the original prints. It is just his face though, so nothing doing there.
I quite like this Pyramids of Mars cover. It's understated, but still quite effective. The robot Mummy's are big part of the appeal of this story for me, so it's nice to see them on the cover.
The Chase is another Pearson cluster pic. It's actually not too bad, but I think the Dalek should have been the centrepiece instead of the Mechanoid.
Ark in Space's only redeeming feature is that the Wirrn looks better in the picture than it did in the show.
Pyramids gets my vote here.

Nostalgia scores heavily for The Zarbi and The Ark in Space here, and I think both covers are beautifully done. The Twin Dilemma is designed to tie in with the cover for Caves I believe (in terms of the blue swirly background) but that bit of cleverness aside, is a pretty poor likeness and a very dull cover. The Chase is conversely a lot of very good likenesses, but is far too cluttered. Pyramids is simple but effective, but lacks nostalgia (and isn't as good as the original anyway) so I'm going for the Wirrrrrrrn!!

It's The Chase for me. It accurately depicts the entire overcluttered plot!
The Zarbi is ok- but not a big favourite. The Twin Dilemma is very good, but it wasn't an actual cover, so I discount it! Pyramids is dull and lacking any atmosphere at all, and I rather like Ark in Space, but I just like The Chase best.

Very close thing betweem The Chase & The Web Planet for me, but the nostalgia factor pips it for Web Planet.

Apart from The Twin Dilemma, they're all pretty good covers, but while the moody Pyramids cover is not quite as good as the original, or The Chase is just ever-so-slightly too cluttered, or The Ark In Space just might be lacking something, The Zarbi is a classic bit of Achilleos work, and gets my vote here.

The Ark in Space. The Zarbi and The Chase are good, but a little cluttered, whereas there's not quite enough going on in the other two covers.

I always used to think that the background Zarbi was actually the foreground creatures head, and that it was some kind of flying space cow with flappy paddle front legs.
Make way for a naval officer!

I might have gone for Ark In Space, but Tom is clearly asleep on the cover.
Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

No question at all! Web Planet is about as perfect a cover as there has ever been!!!!!!!
One Day, I shall come back, Yes, I shall come back,
Until them, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties, Just go forward in all your beliefs,
and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine!
