More Heinlein magazine updates

12/26/2018

In the cataloging project of my personal library, at last I’m through allllllllllllllll of my Heinlein, and thus soon will be moving on to the next authors in the alphabet. Along the way I’ve discovered some Heinlein art here and there that I didn’t realize I had in certain magazines, and I’ve picked up some more as well...like this nice Fred Ludekens from The Saturday Evening Post. Now all 825 of these separate images of Heinlein art have been posted to the various pages of Heinlein galleries.

Enjoy!

Heinlein cover art updates

As I work slowly, so slowly through my library cataloging project, I’ve found a few holes in my Heinlein collection that I wanted to fill...so I did.

I have some interesting things still on the way, but already I’ve received the April-May 1953 issue of Astonishing Stories with “Project Nightmare,” the January and March 1963 issues of F&SF with the last two installments of Podkayne of Mars I was lacking, and, the September through December issues of Boys’ Life with The Rolling Stones serialized as Tramp Space Ship with illustrations by someone named Hal Sherman.

Oh, yes—and I picked up some cool old things that I posted to my “Science Fiction/Science Fact” area as well, including some beautiful art by Chesley Bonestell.

In any event, the Heinlein stuff of course now is posted to to the “Pulp Magazines” and “Serialized Novels” pages as appropriate.

Enjoy!

Leigh Brackett, “The Beast-Jewel of Mars” in 1948 Planet Stories

Leigh Brackett’s “The Beast-Jewel of Mars” is a neat story about using a sort of reverse-evolution regression as illicit entertainment or drug. I had read it in a collection I picked up a year or two ago, but recently I found a copy of the 1948 Planet Stories that originally published the story. I liked the story, and the flashy 1940s cover was so great that I figured I had to get it.

I opened up a new page in my Other SF Art galleries, specifically Pulp Magazines, so now I have a place to post the illustration at left.

Enjoy!
