  1. If for no other reason than the art, I don’t understand why everybody doesn’t dig Sci-fi. This is a cool cover illustration. Such realistic detail, but psychotically skewed enough to know that is beyond reality. Awesome!

  2. I love those old ci fi book covers. They have something so mezmorizing about them.

    I got to this site while looking for old Omni pictures I remembered, and found some really fantastic stuff. I thought may be you’d find theses interesting as well:

    These are old book covers for the Hebrew translation of the Hitchhiker’s guide, which I think are very good by themselves. The first one is for The Hitchhiker’s Guids, the second for the Restaurant at the end of the universe and the third is Life, The Univeres and Everything.

  3. hey,

    Yeah they definitely do have something special about them… and thanks for the links 🙂 I’ll have to look out for those covers in higher res… cool though, particularly the HitchHikers cover – colours remind of Salinas Blanch (see on this blog)

    BTW if you looking for Omni Scans – check Eric Carls Flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mr_carl/
