Heinlein Cover Art: Serialized Novels

Before they appeared in their final book forms, a great many of Heinlein’s novels appeared first in installments across a number of issues of SF magazines.  This page focuses on the serialization of Heinlein novels from the 1950s through the 1970s; quite a few include interiors drawings as well, which is a nice treat.  However, for the early magazine work, both stand-alone stories and novels serialized in the 1930s and 1940s—generally in periodicals of noticeably larger size—see my “Pulp Magazines” page.

The Puppet Masters, serialized in Galaxy​ in 1951 with art by Don Sibley
My scanning of the first installment went well, but the second two magazines were more fragile than I had realized, and I ended up cracking the spine, which was very disappointing...

Have Space Suit—Will Travel, serialized in F&SF in 1958 with covers by Ed Emshwiller
The August and September paintings are especially lovely, and of course scrupulously faithful to the text.  Unfortunately, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction​ by this period does not have interior art anymore.
