This is Ken Kelly week, since I just found several of his S&P painting. We'll start with Descent, which was a cover for Lyn Carter's Jandar of Callisto. Kelly is a brilliant illustrator, but the names given his paintings are unimaginative. More on this tomorrow.

Two teenagers running from agents of the star-spanning Federation come to Earth to rescue their parents. Kevin Johnson's cover presents the situation effectively and piqued my curiosity. Is it S&P if the author reverses the tropes? I say yes, and will read it.

offers this Storn Cook bit of prototypical S&P art. It's got the proper mixture of future and archaic weaponry, a scantily clad alien babe, and a man who's obviously out of place. I believe this was an RPG commission rather than a book cover. Too bad. I'd read it!

returns to ERB with this James E. McConnell cover for the second Amtor (aka Venus) book. It's been far too long since I read this one, but I recall thoroughly enjoying the Venus series. Barsoom better captured my heart, but Amtor holds fond memories.

With advanced weapons, swords, a scantily-babe, and imminent danger, this Hildebrandt painting from their 1982 Atlantis calendar hits all the S&P tropes. Too bad there's no story for these images, because I'd read it in a heartbeat.

ちょっとスクロールしただけでこんな感じ。トランプ大統領のツイートが上品に見える。少なくとも今の体制のまま中国がこれまでのように影響力を持つのは難しそう。
