This weeks selection is breaking from the norm a little bit. I’ve been posting mainly Analog Science fiction covers since the others were in boxes and slightly harder to get to. I finally pulled one out and pulled some treasures from inside.

Up first, we have AMAZING Stories from 1957. Gracing the cover is a character many will recognize.

After that, we have a Galaxy from November of 1976. Usually Galaxy has slightly lower quality of illustration than analog but this issue really brings some skill. Though it isn’t the most interesting illustration, the faces are rendered superbly.

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!
