I really love these old sci-fi covers. As a kid I would just stare at the paperback racks for ever and ever enthralled by the imagery while my mom shopped in the drugstore or supermarket...
Thanks GSW! I really appreciate you helping out and adding something like this...
My next post is going to be a real treat and here's a hint on what it will be (since I know how much you like puzzles);
Have you ever wondered what it would have been like if Sean Connery had starred in a pirate film??? AND then...The poster was painted by one of the greatest movie poster/paperback book cover artists of all time??? (at least in my opinion) Welllll stay tuned because you're about to find out!
Hi Rocket I must say that you bring back memories - when I was a teen I bought a lot of these scifi paperbacks - usually for a quarter or 35 cents. I think it was ACE had two novels per book - the one on the back was upside down to the one on the front. And the cover art was seriously sexy and "alien". Thanks

ReplyDeleteThanks Rocket!
ReplyDeleteGreat Edmund Emshwiller cover art. I had to go to my favorite Sci-Fi book database to find out. Could not find a signature.
