Here’s a slide show of vintage covers to Science Fiction paperback novels of the 50’s-70’s. The music is by Man or Astro-Man from their brilliant “EEVIAC” album. Enjoy!
I, for one, never … I, for one, never cared to point out the special effects when movies had the same design. That retro design is my absolute favorate in sci-fi concepts. I wish I could find more.
I had a thing for … I had a thing for the old shlock pulp-lit from years ago! (The stuff now is still SHLOCK… But now they try and pad it to make it look ‘important’!) I own that one by Brian Aldiss. (My favorite writer of all time!) And I know I’ve read others.
I especially miss the funky cover art! It was often silly… but it always grabbed your attention!
….Well, if you … ….Well, if you just want feedback- EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEk!!!!!!!
Nice job on … Nice job on assembling this collection. It surely describes the genre in that era–a time when a larger group of people were starting to dream forward, and envision both impossible and possible futures.
Today I learned … Today I learned that I could use XP and the “Windows Movie Maker” to create video clips. So I took some sci-fi covers, added music and uploaded some clips. To test Youtube’s search capability, I looked for “Sci-fi pulp” and discovered that you did this 2 weeks ago. Good job on the idea, covers and music. I tried to video respond, but I don’t think it worked.

What I dislike the most are the abstract kind of art that really gets my teeth grinding.

At an extimate I have read 8 of these.
I like the old pulp. Written in days, read in minutes. But why no “Vargo Statten”?

Is this from your own collection?
