Astounding Science-Fiction, 1942: More Heinlein art!

A few weeks ago at Curious Books I picked up a couple beautiful old Astounding Science-Fiction pulps from 1942, containing Heinlein’s “Goldfish Bowl” and “Waldo.”

While I had immediately scanned those covers, it wasn’t until today that I got around to scanning their interior pen-and-ink art: 3 by Kramer for the Anson MacDonald-pseudonym “Goldfish Bowl” and 7 by Orban for “Waldo.”

These two issues of Astounding are huge—as big as the Unknown in my collection—and that makes scanning of interiors a tad easier.  All are posted to the Pulp Magazines page of my site.

Fans of old SF art, enjoy!

I was up in Frankenmuth for a conference for a couple of days, and on my way in I stopped at a couple of junk/antique joints, where I got four Heinlein paperbacks: two nice Scribner's with Darrell K. Sweet covers, a Vincent Di Fate Man Who Sold the Moon, and a John Melo Green Hills of Earth.  All now are posted to their appropriate pages in my Heinlein Cover Art galleries.

Enjoy!

A pair of Heinlein pulps, and more!

Yesterday I needed to go to Curious Books in East Lansing to pick up a couple stray Bradbury collections for a big text on Ray Bradbury I'll be putting together for next year—which perhaps should be another post in itself, come to think of it—when I figured that as long as I was in, I should check for any Heinlein of interest, too...

Upstairs I found a nice first-edition hardcover of Expanded Universe and a newer edition of Time Enough for Love with quite a decent cover illustration.  But then downstairs—ah, downstairs!—I found two beautiful old Heinlein pulps: “Waldo” from August 1942 and “Goldfish Bowl” from March 1942,  Both have lovely covers by Hubert Rogers, though only the one for “Waldo” (pictured here) depicts the Heinlein story, the other one depicting an A.E. Van Vogt.

I should comment that the Astounding each also have several interior line drawings of their Heinlein stories.  I haven't yet taken the plunge on those, though, as that will entail a significant amount of very finicky work with these almost three-quarter-century-old magazines.  But right now at least the books are their appropriate pages, and the magazine covers are on my “Pulp Magazines” page.

Enjoy!
