When it comes to gorgeous science fiction art, Jim Burns is one of the greats, and Planet Story is a special piece of both visual and literary fun. The satirical text by Harry Harrison is complete silly-assery, the story of a fellow by the name of Parrts, rank of Private, who has some strange aphrodisiac power that...well, you can imagine. I first saw some of the Jim Burns illustrations in Omni magazine, probably around 1980, and of course I never forgot them.
Recently, therefore, I purchased an old copy of the oversized book itself on Amazon, and it was indeed silly and delightful. I finished several week ago, but just now I finally got around to posting a sample of the art on my “Big Illustrated Books—Flights of Fancy” page.
Enjoy!
