welcome back BZ and happy holidays. I recognize Michael Barrier as co-editor of the Smithsonian Comic Book Comics anthology (1981) - still a big fave. & re JR Fearn - the '30s and '40s USA pulp stories were written for & first published in the US market. plus you can add Thorton Ayre to the JRF pile...

Ah...Christmas. The most wonderful time of the year.

 

The season of spreading good cheer, spending time with your family, and of sharing, caring and giving.

 

And...the Klan!!? :o

Is everyone here familiar with the artist Kim Jung Gi?

 

I only became aware of him a couple of weeks ago.

 

According to what I have read, he creates all of these detailed drawings without benefit of any preliminary drawings.

He's quite amazing. I own his three sketch books (which are a bit expensive), the first one (2007 if I remember this correctly) being the best.

INNER COSMOS by John Russell Fearn, Scion 1952, Ron Turner cover.

 

This invasion from the microcosm novel was based on ‘Worlds Within’, from the March 1937 Astounding.

For those curious about such things, the image used for the New Year greeting is from Science Wonder Quarterly #1 (Fall 1929)

Of special note, this issue contains Forrest Ackerman's first fan letter to a sci-fi pulp..

I find these kind of cover layouts incredibly beautiful… :)

(I am also a big fan of that kind of period lettering for the "sense of wonder" is inspires…)
