Today’s Sci Fi Sunday brings us some really cool armour suits as well as some peculiarly anachronistic pixies. Why does the robin hood type figure need a giant suit? This is also another good example of the quality of illustration in analog versus the others. Note the anatomical peculiarity on the pixie being shot. I doubt that the super long neck and tiny head was intentional.
Analog Science Fiction November/December 1974
I decided to do a double feature with this one. Once a week is a long time to wait for sci-fi illustration goodness!
First up, we have Analog Science Fiction’s November 1974 cover.

Interesting layout here. We have someone standing mostly under a giant ship like thingy. Everything appears to be happening inside a larger structure. The title “the Indian Giver” seems like a peculiar sci-fi title.
Up next we have Analog’s December 1974 cover

This is a pretty cool picture. It looks like it is a combination of scale sized set with hand illustrated crew. Neat looking.
Well, see you next sunday!
