Burt Tanner’s cover illustrating “Painwise” for The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, ed. Edward L. Ferman (February 1972). Illustrates the Tiptree story I cover in the review.

Ed Emshwiller’s cover for The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, ed. Robert P. Mills (January 1959). Illustrates Leiber's The Silver Eggheads. A hand squeezes a dropper into a metal container holding a brain. There are also other scenes behind it -- a pile of metal, people fighting in the distance, etc.
