Ed Emshwiller ‘Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine, 1955’

An ill-fitting helmet and a rocket in need of some serious panel beating.

Art by Galaxy Ed Emshwiller for ‘Science Fiction Magazine’ (1955). Generally I’m not a fan of this far back, but this struck a chord.

not sure of the exact publication it’s from, but that is most definitely a painting by the brilliant Ed Emshwiller.

Ed Emshwiller is my personal favourite. I’ve got a fairly sizeable collection of vintage sci-fi pulp paperbacks, many featuring his art. I’m even half-through being tattooed with Emsh-inspired ink!

Worth mentioning, the Sci-Fi Museum in Seattle has a number of original Emsh paintings. Just one reason to check that place out (it’s beyond fantastic).

Cheers!
