So here we go! First a Barye Phillips cover for a political thriller, the first such to use the idea of mentally programmed sleeper agents.Another strange Patrick Woodroffe cover for one of Moorcock’s Prince Corum novels.I like this Victor Kalin cover for one of John Creasey’s (under a pen name) Gideon police procedurals.An Ed Emshwiller horror cover—And a Gervasio Gallardo cover I’ve posted before. Derleth’s Lovecraftian stories were piss-poor, but the cover’s sooo cool.#SFWApro. All rights to images remain with current holders.

I mean just look at it! Weird shit, man!#SFWApro. Cover by Peter Gudynas

As a former Gulf Coast resident I’ve certainly never seen anything like this uncredited image. I’m guessing they thought this female character would be a better hook than the “respectable spinster” or the “frightened virgin.”One by Virgil Finlay.

Another Finlay, for a part of what would become The Blind Spot. Serializing novels in SF magazines used to be the norm.Another uncredited cover.And I’ll wrap up with a Richard Powers.#SFWApro. All rights to images remain with current holders.

This one looks a lot like Powers’ work.

Next, a novel repackaged to tie in with a movie adaptation.This one became a Barbara Stanwyck film.Is it just me or should that women’s nipples be popping out of that top?

This one’s chilling, I think.I like this cover too.#SFWApro. All rights to images remain with current holders.

Writing went well but in return I didn’t have much thought left for blogging. So first, this one by Larry Kressek. Good line up of authors.Next, an uncredited cover more memorable for the punning title.Frank Frazetta provides the cover for one of Kline’s planetary romances (meh knockoffs of Barsoom, from the little I’ve read of them)An uncredited cover that really makes me curious how all the story elements fit together.

And one bizarro entry by Patrick Woodroffe to wrap up  with.

First a Roy Krenkel cover — not stunning, but it got me to look at the book, which I bought (used) and enjoyed.Next a really great cover by Ron Bradford. I’ve no idea what’s going on but it sure looks interesting.Then a Robert Gibson Jones cover for one of Richard Shaver’s supposedly true accounts of the evil inside the hollow earth.Next, one by Lawrence Sterne StevensAnd finally a gentle one by George Barr.#SFWApro.
