BOOM!
IN YOUR FACE!!
Ladies and gentlemen and Minions of dubious gender, I give you the cover- with text and without- to The Maleficent Seven.
Rejoice, puny humans, for the ArtGod Percival has delivered his most brain-smashing cover yet.
And the world is a happy place.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 4933 Newer› Newest»I may have just ordered all the paper backs...cause I only had the old ones....totally skint now *worth it!*
I bought it for a friend, she wasn't a fan, We're not close anymore...
well we are but unfortunately she wasn't into it...
my friends look at them and say...too...many...pages...

I really should be getting to sleep...
Derek, can I be your best friend? PLEASE DEREK?
Miss Cain - SP has stolen so much sleep from me :D
Kribu, yea... but my friend is really stubborn...

Sleeping is so boring compared to talking to you guys.
SP has made me lose LOTS of sleep.
I finished KOTW at five in the morning.
And once I stayed up for 39 hours straight to be on here for at least 31.
HARRIET YOU MUST DEDICATE THE PAGE!

Annnnd here comes Becky and Howlett to totally lower the tone of the place...
DEREK.
HI.
AGAIN.
Dude, seriously, this is awesome. Cannot wait!
Great book cover, Tom's done another brilliant job on this, again. Would it be great to publish it with out the writing on it! Then put all the details on the back of the book. I think that would be so cool!

Miss Cain.
Hi.
Again.
Miss Cain.
Hi.
Again.
*hums Strangers In A Stranger Land*
wow! but my idea of tanith was a bit different but it still looks class! :D
I keep looking at Tanith's arms.
master derek, how do you measure awesomness? Im intrigued... because I was asked today and I didnt have an answer to give...
Helloooooo!!! Ahhhh just ran around my room going arrbbbsflarrrk it's so good!!!!! New second favourite cover!!!
Second because Derek's still wins.
I can only dream of having arms like Tanith....
What I didn't eVEN SAY ANYTHING YET
Derek, is it weird that on one of my notebooks for school I drew a giant Derek-lizard in a cape?
I DREW MELANCHOLIA ST. CLAIR IN CLASS TODAY.
I really should probably stop drawing in class...
Kribu- wonderful arms, aren't they? *happy sigh*
Melica- the awesome scale has two points- Me, and everyone else.
Charisma- you have wonderful taste...
Harriet, I don't even dream of having arms like that.
I can only admire them from afar.
But anyway, sir Landy. I have questions. Yep. One, whY THE HELL IS TOM SO BLOODY AMAZING BECAUSE I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND
And two, did you manage to put in mine and Ashley's genius Billy insult, or did you decide it was /too/ bad?
...I want arms like Tanith...
that makes a lot of sense now that you mention it... thankyou! *twiddles thumbs* Im bored :(
Derek, do you ever think of giving Tom a cameo in one of the books as an epic artist, that can , I don't know, bring pictures to life?
AND THREEEEE, are posters of this going to be made because if they are I'm gonna screech
i screech a lot anyway but it's nice to have an excuse
GAH! why is tom percival so good at this?!?!?
I HAVE NO ARTISTIC TALENT
Derek, if you do another tour can you please please please please PLEEEASE come to Norfolk???
If you do, my friend promises he'll dress up as Skulduggery again!
Though he's an evil Skulduggery. The only skeleton mask he could find was a zombie skeleton.
Which looked odd with the hat and suit.
He looked like Skulduggery Scapegrace.
Hmmmmmmmm. Scapeduggery.
YES.
Ohmygodharrietthat'sgenius
Derek!! I've poisoned my shipping with ValGuine! Becky!!!!
Valkyrie- drawing derek-lizards is perfectly normal. Everyone does it.
Becky- that insult remains in my head.... for now...

DEREK.
IS THERE A MISTAKE IN DARK DAYS ON PAGE 321??
THIS BIT:
Marr hurried over, shackles in his hand.
BUT MARR IS A CHICK.
SO, IS THAT A MISTAKE??
Kribu - Imagine the agony from a high five from those arms...
HWOY'ALL?
psssst derek, derek psssst, can you please come to Glasgow? please? :D
YO KOMODO!!!
"For now..."
Good god.
Thanks Becky :D Sadly it's hopElessly unoriginal...I CAN DREAM!
Harriet - I know. ~whimpers~
Charisma - Scapeduggery sounds... well. It makes me think of Scapegrace/Skulduggery, and that's just... not what I wanted to think about while having dinner.
OH MY GOD CHARISMA YOU ARE FROM NORFOLK YOU ARE MY NEIGHBOUR LET ME LOVE YOU
DO YOU LIVE NEAR NORWICH
OH MY GOD
Derek, I still think that you drawing for the cover is evenly matched by this
;P
Harriet do not use the word hopeless because i will cry
Speaking of corrections, Derek, I noticed something you missed in all the UK Playing with Fire editions.
Page 177
"... and Vengeous swatted the hand away before Skudluggery could push at the air."
BECKY GOOD SIR YES I DO!!!! I LIVE NEAR NORWICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HEY MISS CAIN! *Fistbumps Cain*
Never again Becky, I swear it on Skul's hat!
I have just been informed im having mexican food for dinner...YAY! Also Derek I was talking to other people today (not by choice) and apparently I sound Irish...HOW CAN THAT BE??? Im Scottish ... O_o
Derek. Come to Hull. Please?
OH MY GOOD GOD THIS MOMENT IS A BEAUTIFUL ONE. I LIVE IN LOWESTOFT WHICH STINKS BUT EEEE ANOTHER EAST ANGLIA FAN
*laughs*
OH MY GOD VAL!!! THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST HILARIOUS MISTAKES EVER!!!!
HUZZZAAAAH!!!!!!! I LIVE KIND OF 20 MINUTES FROM NORWICH AND I AM THE OTHER SIDE OF YARMOUTH SO ISH NEAR LOWESTOFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAY!
Charisma, I could possibly-maybe-if-it-works-out meet you next September, good god
THERE'S SO MANY FANS THAT I KNOW OF THAT I MIGHT POSSIBLY MEET NEXT YEAR IT'S SO EXCITING
Becky, Charisma, I'm in Suffolk but still, more East Anglia fans :D
Miss Cain- good catch! i'll fix it in the next printing!
Valkyrie- good girl!! Thank you!
Hazel... I'll try...!
And the best part is, that mistake is practically invisible until someone points it out.
YUS!!!!!
I knew it!!!
FFFF THAT'S GREAT SO YOU MUST ONLY LIVE LIKE 20 MINUTES FROM ME OR SOMETHING
Imagine if you lived in Beccles
Which used to be spelled "Beckles"
Which is what people call me
that'd actually be kinda weird if i think about it
*hi-fives Val*
Oh my gosh Becky that is totallyawesome!!!!!!
HARRIET AREN'T YOU FROM IPSWICH?
Im randomly saying words aloud now...
YOU ARE WELCOME, MASTER DEREK!
I noticed it a while ago when I was admiring my beautiful signed copies you sent me.
Oh, and I'm so glad you said I was a lunatic in my Death Bringer one... It proves that you've noticed.
Speaking of Death Bringer, you know how last year you posted a picture of a whole bunch of Death Bringers? It said there were thirteen, but I counted fifteen, and they looked different than the one I was sent. I love the one I was sent, I assure you, but how come they were different?
YES BECKY I AM! (:
Skulduggery has made my detective instincts appear, Derek. I notice EVERYTHING.
Except things that make me trip. They lunge out at me.
Hey Derek, talking of tours, has there been any more talk about the possible visit down my neck of the woods next year, or will it be a good while before any of that's organised? (Even if you don, you know I'll find you anyway. As there is no hiding.)
Hi Val V's sisters!
And some of the editions were trade paperback- the same size as hardback but with soft covers, usually for airports.
Hi Val V's sisters!
And some of the editions were trade paperback- the same size as hardback but with soft covers, usually for airports.
How rude, Derek.
Rude.
EEEEEE
HARRIET YES
Us Suffolk/Norfolk fans should unite. make a club where we meet up monthly and cry about which of our favourite character's Derek will kill next.
things lunge out at me aswell ... (stupid door, step, chair, wall and bed )
Omg Gero we act insulted but really, we know it's true
(ALSO ARE YOU FEELING BETTER)
*whispers* Hey Derek....Ipswich has a Waterstones (: just sayin'
[super saiyan]
BECKY THE BEST BOOK CLUB EVER...SUCH A GOOD IDEA
SKUTTLEBUG MEET UPS :D
Derek, I have a question!!
Is there any possible way that Darquesse and Lord Vile could exist outside of Valkyrie and Skulduggery? Because Aggredion could put up a wall between Darquesse and Valkyrie, and could another Sorcerer with a sealed name do that? And could they then be trapped in something??
Sorry it's a long question, it's been something on my mind all day!
Derek.
Any chance of sending more promo to Aus?
Preferably Western Australia.
Cuz, you know, I need more posters and stuff...
*also whispers* Glasgow has many waterstones and WHSmiths... and shops but Im going off topic...
Australia has a lot of Dymocks. *nods*
Yes, the vomiting stopped after 10am so I went into school for the afternoon.
Becky, Harriet, YES YES YES YES YEEEEEEEEEEES!! SKULDUGGERY CLUB!! And Psssssst, Norwich also has a Waterstones ..........
We have bookshops in Estonia, too!
... considering the lack of SP books, translated or otherwise, that's probably not going to be a very convincing argument for a tour stop, though. Hmph.
Derek, will you PLEASE ask your publishers about printing the books here? I mean, I know you said they don't think you'd make much money on tour here, but that's because the books stop at the third one.
CHARISMA. If you've a Facebook, add me. I'm Becky Allaker and if you can't find me, I'm all over the SP FB page as I plague it.
That's good, Gero. You feeling any better though?
HARRIET. I just posted on your Facebook, m'love
I'll add you Becky!! Loving the cover photo!!!
Feeling a lot better, once I'd emptied my stomach I felt good to go.
SO AM I. Tom just makes me cry 99% of the time his art is too good omg
Ah, good. That usually helps.
Sorry Georgina. You do not lower the tone of the place. It's just a TOTAL coincidence that it lowers when you're around. Ahem.
Charisma- it's theoretically possible, but I don't know if I have any sorcerers in the books who are that powerful.
Im addicted to the songs the power of love and a thousand years... they are SO gooooooooooooooooood :D
By the way, my sisters got excited when you said hi to them, Derek.
I SHALL MAKE A REQUEST NOW!
Could you mention Ivy Animosity? As one of the coolest sorcerers ever? Or something like where Kal and Rosella were in it?
*back from Facebook*
DEREK, please visit Norwich :D
Is Derek on?
Oh my god he is!
|But I havbe to leave now.
Bye!
Bye Komodo!!!
OhmyGodDerek
AND WOOOO HARRIET. Even if not, you and I should attempt to meet at some point! It's always great meeting new Bugs
Thank you so so much for answering Derek!! My friend and I were talking in Science - Skulduggery discussions tend to happen in science - and I thought of that, and it had been going What if? What if? in my head all day!!
Now all I have in my head is going Oh My Gooooodness the cover is amazing!!!
Derek, please, if anything, I HEIGHTEN it.
Derek! Hull has a really pretty Waterstones!! I really wanna meet you but My parents won't let me unless you come to Hull D:
*admires cover*
*grins*
That's going to be on my bookshelf next year.
Becky, I'll bring tea (:
Becky, I'll bring biscuits.
Everyone needs biscuits.
hey sev! :D
Yay!! Hey again Grief!!
Hi Mel!
*waves frantically at everyone*
Omfg yes. Just the three of us sitting in the middle of Norwich Mall, weeping into rich teas.
HELLO!
Derek, have you any inclination towards producing a Skulduggery graphic novel?
I'm wearing black socks today, and my only thought on that is:
I WEAR THE SAME COLOUR SOCKS AS DEREK NOW
Becky, Charisma...Sounds heavenly :')
Hi Becky! I don't know you, but hi!
HARRIET HAVE YOU BEEN TO NORWICH BEFORE? BECAUSE IT'S FABULOUS.
Okay then my Minions, I must leave and spend time with my nieces. Good to chat to you...
well MOST of you...
bloody Howlett...
There would just be the three of us sitting outside New Look going, but, but, he killed off ........!! Eating jammy dodgers.
Heh, that's fine. I never show myself around these parts.
Bye Derek!
Not in a long time, years in fact! I think the last time was on a primary school trip!!!
Bye Derek!!!!!!1
bye derek! :)
Bye Derek *waves happily* :D
Bye, Derek!
Hi, everyone who is here!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO don't go!
Well, okay, that's fine.
Have fun with your nieces! Tell them the tales of your odd minions!
Oh god. BYE DEREK. Say Becky Says Hi to them.
Oh yeah! Loving the awesome cover, can't wait to read it.
My friends don't get my passion for SP, tried explaining the series to them a few times but they just look at me, strangely, and slowly walk away...
They don't know what they are missing. SP is the main component to my book collection.
Bye Derek!!
HARRIET YOU MUST RETURN TO NORWICH. It's the best omg. I also need to go into the centre of Ipswich, I've never actually BEEN...
(and I was joking about Georgina.. she's awesome...!)
And she didn't force me to say that, I swear.
Bye all!
omg charisma. just walking through assorted shops, weeping about ships as we cry into packs of different biscuits.
I feel so left out... y'know being from Scotland and all...
I agree with BEcky, HArriet, you must venture to Norwich!!!
We have cookies.
Derek! Change your profile to include books since Mortal Coil!
As Georgina's in Derek's printer, hissing at him...
Ipswich isn't all that bad!!!! I would imagine Norwich is better though, quite a lot of stuff has shut down :( BUT WE STILL HAVE A WATERSTONES and a WHSmiths....*coughs*
looks pretty cool but...
i liked the origanal cover beter
the one by derek landy
Becky, it would just be -
No *weep* more *weep* Fletcherie! *Noms jammy dodger*
Charisma....COOKIES?! *on a train*
*I WISH*
Necros - his cover is pretty awesome :D
LOOOL OH GOD I'M OVER FLETCHERIE IT'S ALL CHINDUGGERY AND HARMPINE NOW
skul and his wife oh my god
Mel - I know how you feel.
This is probably going to sound stupid, but what is Harmpine?
I never liked Fletcherie. And when Jubilance got to Fletcher kissing Valkyrie she started going, "Ew! No, no! Ew!"
I'm afraid I have to leave now to, you know, save the world with Skulduggery (in other words, I have to get my hair cut) so bye!
I decided to wear my bowtie...cause bow ties are cool :)
Bye Val!!
Bye Valkyrie V. *waves*
Bye Val!
bye val!
Alas, I have to go too now. Bye everyone!!! (:
2am and I'm not tired.
Probably a bad thing.
So I'm going to try and sleep.
Bye all!!!
Toodles, Val.
Omg you know in KOTW, Serpine says something to a girl called Harmony? Like something entirely suggestive? Harmony's my character, now everyone on Facebook ships it. Hilarious and disturbing.
Bye Harriet!
Bye Miss Cain!
I missed The Town, on ITV.
NOW I AM ANNOYED.
I'll be absent, Lads, Ladies and weirdos. I have my bby Andrew Scott to watch on ITVPlayer.
Kay, Back, and is Derek still here?
Becky -
Yep, I remember now!! I think I ship Chinduggery. But ............. *starts crying*
It can't be!!!!!!!
Becky, I've been reading the comments. AND I'M ALSO FROM EAST ANGLIA! *nods*
Crap, he isn't. And I had something I wanted to ask him.
See you later Becky! (I'm guessing you're going?)
Keep thinking of biscuits and Norwich and shipping!
THAT.IS./AMAZING/.
...
*Weeps eternally because she will never be able to draw so awesomely*
THAT'S FREAKIN' BADASS! :c] Like me, when I'm wearing my Lil' Elf hat and my green sunglasses <(^_^)>
Lil' Elf for Christmas, Leprechaun For Life!
Anyway, ArtGod Percival is going on my list of favourite ArtGods :D Which makes him . . . my only favourite ArtGod, so that means he IS my favourite ArtGod . . . YAY!
Oh, and a bit of advice - try not to get too excited when nearly running over your school's vice principal 'cause that happened to me . . . Mother was reversing the car out of the carpark without noticing he was right behind us and my lil' sis' shouted "NO! STOP! DON'T RUN OVER THE POOR MAN!" (The 'poor man' being the VP; he is certainly not poor) and I shouted - like a Father Jack from 'Father Ted' after he saw the nuns: "REVERSE WILL YA! REVERSE! REVERSE! REVERSE!"
We also nearly reversed over him AGAIN. Which in my opinion, was hilarious.
Have YOU ever ran over - nearly - your teacher, Derek dude? (My Uncle/Godfather's name is Derek so Imma add a 'dude' to your name :])
How about you Minions? :D
It's sometimes hard to control the Leprechaun blood in my veins . . .
Ieni, you'll have to join us eating biscuits and drinking tea and shipping in Norwich!!
AHHHMIGOD !! It is so unreal !!! :D Defo worth the wait omgomgomgomgomgomogmogmomgomgogm !!!!!!
I cant waitttttttttttttttttttttt
Bye Becky!
I have to go now. BYE PEOPLE!
IENI WHERE ABOUTS ARE YOU FROM? OMG THAT'S GREAT
Charisma, I adore Chinduggery. It's devastating. I've recently made a head canon that Skul and China had an affair during the war, and that's why China and Skul's wife had such a bitch-out...
Derek left like 16 minutes ago ......
Fml
Toodles!
And I shall still be here, absently.
My fajitas have been put on hold *mumbles under breath* so I am eating a muffin and drinking some coke :)
Bye again. Because NO ONE NOTICES ME!
Becky, that might have been why!! But I think Skulduggery loved his wife loads ........ *Starts crying again*
Head canons for the win!!
Ahaha just realised I'm in Norwich tomorrow.
I'm learning Russian.
Im casually sitting wearing a shirt, bowtie, some trousers and an awesome hat... and Im eating a muffin mmmhhhh muffin... but my dad questioned my ouutfit and I just said "bowties are cool, they go with my school uniform hense why I am still wearing it..."
Oh, of course he loved her. Dearly. But when it comes to China Sorrows, he rarely knows what he's doing.
BUT I JUST TEND TO HAVE HEADCANONS THAT MAKE EVERYONE INTO THE BADGUY IN SOME WAY
Komodo D:
I think Cannon has two Ns.
Becky, you have just got me hooked on Chinduggery.
I am reading fan fiction as I speak.
Or type.
And when Skulduggery left China, it was the height of hypocrisy.
I can never remember if its two ro one xD
Omg, what's it about?
Komodo, cannon with two n-s is the big gun thing that goes boom... Canon with one n is the one mostly meant when talking about books and headcanon and stuff!
Oh, sorry.
wow this is great just love it
oh, i was right. That's a miracle
