Out of date, even when it was first published.

@Dead Stuff: You’re not wrong. I clicked on the link you sent, read the first chapter on Gutenberg… a book published after 1940 having the protagonist exclaim surprise at the existence of a secret service is bad enough but thereafter they refer to it as the ‘SS’.

And it’s a prima facie case for a ‘Behind You!’ tag.

That’s no unknown artist. It’s Kelly Freas.
Looks like the inspiration for this classic cover:

That awkward moment when your spaceship is attacked by birds.

I usually like Kelly Freas art, but this is not his best.

Indeed, it needs a “Behind You!” tag… and a “Beside you!”

Thank you for this site. I have been collecting vintage sci fi and fantasy books – mostly from a book store run by a convent near a cottage in Northern Ontario, Canada – and have amassed over 400 titles. The art work never ceases to amaze and delight.
I have so often considered putting a site together to catalog them all, but you are doing a smashing job of it and i will enjoy visiting often.
Just to say thanks, and you have a new fan.

IN HIS HAND WAS THE POWER TO DESTROY SPACESHIPS.
IN HIS SHOULDERS WAS THE POWER TO MOVE NEBULAE.
IN HIS BREATH WAS THE POWER TO ATTRACT MISCELLANEA.

Kelly Freas did a lot of work for MAD magazine. That’s probably why THX1138 saw the Alfred E. Neuman “What Me Worry?” connection.

Oh man, remember this site? It used to be pretty cool!

Frank Kelly Freas did artwork for MAD Magazine as well.
