Again, I think we share similar views about this book. Glad we read it, and it had some cool stuff in it, but it wasn't quite there. I'll link to your review in the original post.<BR/><BR/>Nice rundown on the artists, btw. That was a great period of covers.OlmanFeelyushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521657876810568251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995718.post-77245099622715573212008-02-22T00:17:00.000-05:002008-02-22T00:17:00.000-05:00Now this is a PA situation Redwing and I could han...Now this is a PA situation Redwing and I could handle!WeSailFurtherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682759107915210686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995718.post-80635567259424701662008-02-20T17:11:00.000-05:002008-02-20T17:11:00.000-05:00Good review and an interesting comment on the cove...Good review and an interesting comment on the covers. That second one, the original from 1959, was illustrated by Bob Blanchard. There were a number of widely used SF illustrators in the 60s including Jeff Jones, Jack Gaughan, Richard Powers and Kelly Freas. Frank Frazetta got his start in this era as well. <BR/><BR/>Not sure why they changed it for the reprint edition although Ballantine was putting out quite a few PA books at that point and maybe they wanted to punch it up a bit. For example:<BR/><A HREF="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2255/2253893712_e36cc1be90.jpg" REL="nofollow">The Tide Went Out</A><BR/><BR/>Also, I really love <A HREF="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/29/48044869_900d559279_m.jpg" REL="nofollow">this Panther edition</A> of After The Rain.
