Doctor Svord Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Thanks BZ! "... uninhabited mountain chains will be uprooted and thrown into space where, as satellites, they will serve as observatories from which giant telescopes will scan the heavens." I love this stuff. The Somerville forecast is great; it's a common theme in Sci-Fi, but it makes you wonder if Bradbury read this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter gathers actually have more leisure time than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Great cover and a Willy Ley story. When I was a kid, I was always on the lookout for books about space. I had quite a few books written by Willy Ley. My favorites were the ones with Chesley Bonestell illustrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Future Fiction contained the artwork of lots of artists who are best remembered today for their work in comic books. A quick check of the interior illustrations of the first four issues revealed the work of: Charles Biro, Mort Meskin, Jack Binder, Lin Streeter, Irv Novick, and Frank Paul. I love the cover painting by JW Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
