So the reason the bird thing in the background needs a helmet and the anorexic chicken doesn't is that they're from entirely different planets. But yeah, Emshwiller was a freaking genius. And yet the cover is still very 50s.<br /><br />The book club ad is interesting, too. Five anthologies, the Project Blue Book report, an Asimov novel (one of his best), a pre-Dune Herbert, that satellite book. Given that this is the October 1957 issue, this ad was designed, printed, and released before Sputnik. I can't find out anything about the book, though. It's not a title I recognize and it's impossible to Google.<br /><br />What an awesome issue. Leiber, Matheson, Sprague de Camp, and the Anderson/Dickson collaboration didn't even rate mention on the cover! Great line, though. And it was just a throwaway in a short story.DemetriosXnoreply@blogger.com
