Imagine my surprise a little while ago, when poking around Curious Books in East Lansing, suddenly to run across three nice old copies of the beautiful pulp Unknown containing early Heinlein stories: “Magic, Inc.,” “They,” and “The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag.” Ah, what a find!
Unknown is a huge magazine, by the way, a bit bigger than a 9.5x11-inch sheet of paper, and they are richly illustrated—“They” has only one drawing, but it is absolutely perfect, while “Hoag” has a whopping 10 drawings!
I also picked up “Sky Lift”—cover pictured here—plus the first half of “Gulf” and yet another variation of the Darrell K. Sweet cover of The Star Beast. I had passed on that extra Sweet on another couple of earlier trips, actually, but I finally caved, since this red-background version indeed is an interesting change from the green-background example I already had...
In any event, all now are scanned and thence posted in my Heinlein cover art galleries.
Enjoy!
