Worlds of IF (November 1965)

I love the Little-Prince/Mario-Galaxy scale of this and the simplicity of it.

Astounding vol. 45, no. 3 (May 1950)

Be honest, the only thing we care about on this cover is “Dianetics”, a new science of the mind. This must have been one of its first appearances? And it's in a fiction magazine?

A humanoid figure, its eyes like a cat and its body like an ape, stands with arms crossed in the foreground, wearing fur clothing and a medieval-style belt. A snowy mountainous landscape in the background.

Astounding vol. 28, no. 3 (November 1941)

I love the angle here, always good to get a shot from below and on a diagonal, adding drama to … I don't know, a guy on his way from one place to another looking serious. He could be going to buy space groceries for all I know.

Science Fiction Quarterly vol. 1, no. 2 - 1951 - Columbia (August 1951)

Going out on a limb here but this is some guy's highly specific J G Ballardesque/Rule 34 fantasy, right? To become a human airplane with a sexy young woman chained to your back?

It's not my kind of thing but hey who am I to judge the author/artist? You do you.

A woman in a revealing yellow costume, chains around her waist, is riding a man in a suit which turns him into a sort of humanoid aircraft. She is firing a gun ahead of them, and anti-aircraft-type guns are seen in the distance firing upward.

Worlds of IF (March 1962)

My first impression here is that the figure in the foreground is shipwrecked/marooned and is waving hopelessly to that ship in the distance? Pretty sad if so.

This could be because I watched “All Is Lost”, an amazing movie ever. Please watch it.

I guess that thing is landing, not taking off, or the stereotyped Indian guy wouldn't be so interested in it/apprehensive about it? Good setup for a story, would read.

Worlds of IF (September 1962)

I can't tell if those are ships or satellites and whether they're moving or not, but I love how the planet is above and the empty space is below.

I have searched in vain for a trace of the used book shop whose stamp is on this. I can practically smell the place!

Amazing Stories vol. 14, no. 1 (January 1940)

“Sons of the Deluge” is an excellent title. Or rock band name. This is going to be a one-sided battle unless bald-priest-guy can get to laser-pistol-guy with the whip in the next half a second.
