Wow. These covers are freaking amazing. I love retro futurism. Makes me imagine how retro our current futuristic ideas will be.
I had a subscription to Analog in the ’60s, and I remember virtually all of these. It’s amazing how many of them were the work of Kelly Freas. To this day, his use of color, and the humor apparent in many of his works, make him my favorite SF illustrator of all time.
Wow, I had no idea Piers Anthony had been writing for as long as I’ve been alive! And still publishing, pretty amazing!
Yeah, Kelly’s work is beautiful. I’m lucky enough to own several prints and pencil sketches of his. He was a sweet man, as well!
I had a subscription when I was a kid! I only have 1 copy left, which I kept all these years because it included my favourite story, about a seismically unstable planet which is falling apart. I read it again a couple of years ago, and I was surprised at how sexist it was!!
