Gino D'Achille's artwork caught my eye, which shouldn't surprise anyone who follows me, but it took a bit of searching to find the book. A sequel to H. Rider Haggard's "She" intrigues me. In other words, the cover did it's job by catching my eye & piquing my interest.

It's the 3rd day of 2023, and we still don't have flying cars. I've learned to live with that disappointment, but why do we live in a time of such ugly ground cars? Why did the futuristic visions of the 1950s never come to pass? The future isn't what it used to be...

Russian artist Andrey Tarusov caused a furor with his art for the Russian space agency's 2020 pin-up calendar. All I can say is I love the pulp aesthetic Tarusov brought to the artwork, and would kill (figuratively) to see his artwork covering one of my books.

1950s British comic book and pulp artist Ron Turner is new to me, as is the magazine whose cover he painted. The cover has all the expected sci-fi pulp tropes except a spacebabe & it would definitely catch my eye. I particularly like how space becomes a pointing hand.

A. Leslie Ross painted an intriguing cover for Lester del Rey's cover story. From the huge feathers to the babe's calculating expression to the men & spaceships in the background, the scene piques the interest. You can download the issue here:

I didn't post yesterday, so here are 2 Greg Hildebrandt pin-ups with science fiction themes. Alas, neither one ever graced a book or magazine cover. But if they had, I believe I'd have bought that book or magazine. Because sometimes all you need is a great cover.

Robert Fuqua painted this cover for the Feb '40 issue, and it's quite good. Why invent a new bug-eyed monster when an enlarged Earth spider is this horrific? Add a beautiful babe in danger, a stalwart hero, set it on Mars, and you have makings of a grand adventure!

I don't know what "Vulcan's Dolls" is about, but Earle Bergey's gorgeous cover art made me want to read the story. Of note: contrary to modern proclamations that women weren't welcome before the '60s, the 2 top authors listed are women.

Thanks,

I wrap up my memorial salute to the great Ken Kelly with what I believe is a fitting image for the occasion. Farewell, Ken. May you find wonder & beauty in your travel beyond our mortal realm. Your talent & vision will be sorely missed by those of us you left behind.
