Cover picture: The Mudmen, traditional dancers from the Asaro Valley in central Papua New Guinea, portray a legend of wading men imprisoned in a swamp. Robert Damon, who took the photograph, said: ‘You turn, and an Asaro Mudman confronts you, like an arthritic giant walking in a swamp, face a grotesque mask of moulded clay, body scaly with mud, talons for fingers. A bogeyman out to terrorise the holiday crowd who have come to watch.'
