Well, on the day after Thanksgiving I stopped in to Curious Books in East Lansing, and in addition to a big hardcover collecting the last three juveniles (Have Space Suit—Will Travel, Starship Troopers, and Podkayne of Mars), I also picked up the first installment of The Puppet Masters from Galaxy in 1951.
The cover of the collection harks back nicely to the Emshwiller work on Have Space Suit—Will Travel, and although the perspective is a tad confusing on the Galaxy cover by Don Sibley, it otherwise is very nice, too. I scanned the interior art of The Puppet Masters, and then, now that I have more experience on the pulps, I also went back and scanned the all the van Dongen interiors of the installments of Citizen of the Galaxy I have from my 1957 Astoundings.
All-up, this was a good dozen and a half interiors, plus the two covers. The Outward Bound collection is on my Scribner’s YA page, while the others are on my Serializations page.
Oh, and I almost forgot: Recently I also picked up a couple nice illustrated books of space/SF art, which I have filed on my Science Fiction/Science Fact page—good stuff, including some Chesley Bonestell, whose work is never less than absolutely gorgeous.
Enjoy!
