More Heinlein art!

Well, on the one hand, it has hardly been any time at all since my last update, but on the other hand, I stopped in to Schuler’s today, where I found three used Heinlein that I did indeed want...

In addition to the beautifully lonely, and unfortunately uncredited, cover of Orphans of the Sky at left, I also picked up a later variation of the early, vaguely ominous The Puppet Masters, plus a Revolt in 2100 done by the unmistakable Gene Szafran.

As long as I was on a roll, I then went back to my Clifford Geary Between Planets, and at last I scanned his half-dozen interior pen-and-ink drawings.  Fun!

I hope you may enjoy,

Huge load of new pics in "Other SF Art" galleries

Today I added a new section of my “Other SF Art” folder: “Big Illustrated Books,” which contains 3 subpages with 30 (!) scans of colorful cover art from my collections.  Perhaps in future I'll scan a few nice interior shots as well.

Enjoy,

Six new Heinlein covers

3/3/2014

Stopped off at Curious Books in East Lansing today and picked up some old Hal Clement and L. Sprague de Camp that I had heard of but not yet read, along with Philip K. Dick’s Confessions of a Crap Artist, which I also need to read.

More apropos to this post, however, I picked up 6 nifty new Heinlein covers.

Four are novels: another variation of Darrell K. Sweet’s The Star Beast, a Steele Savage Tunnel in the Sky, a stylized British book club edition of The Door into Summer, and an uncredited The Moon is a Harsh Mistress that appears to be by the same artist who did a number of Heinlein covers for Berkley in the late ’60s.

Perhaps most enjoyably, I got both Ed Emshwiller covers for Starship Soldier, which is how Starship Troopers was serialized in F&SF.  The October ’59 cover does not specifically depict Heinlein’s piece, but, as seen above, the November one sure does!

Enjoy,

Rafeeq
