Science Fiction Cover Art

Let's just say that if I had a choice between a falcon and a swan, I'd take the dodo.

Covers from pre-Warhammer issues of White Dwarf which used images (some recycled) by well known science fiction artists. Eddy Jones (Issues 12 & 22), Jim Burns (Issue 43, a rare fantasy image from this artist), Angus Mckie (Issue 20, recycles the cover from 'The Fenris Device') and John Harris (Issue 41)

The cover by Mike Van Houten to a work by Ursula Le Guin, that's commonly referred to as a novel, but is really a piece of speculative anthropology, a gilmpse into a far future Napa Valley and the people who live there entitled 'Always Coming Home'. When it first appeared in 1985 it was a multimedia extravaganza for the period being accompanied by recordings of the various songs featured in the story orchestrated by a friend of the author, composer Todd Barton. This component disappeared from subsequent reprintings, such as the Grafton edition whose cover is featured here.

I think especially on a realistic science and technology focused forum like this that an *extremely* strong and bright dividing line needs to be drawn between actual hardcore *science* fiction and effing "multimedia extravaganza" fantasy including "speculative anthropology". This forum is about hardware, not squish-ware. But also, please don't sue me.

I agree with you. Our treasure is the hardcore nucleus of the forum and our aim must be on preserving it. I have no doubt about that.
But considering this thread is in the "Bar" sub section of "Discussion and Speculation" section, we can allow some off-topic threads because the level of containment here is reasonable safe.

in his Terran Trade Authority series

When I first encountered that series in the late 1970s I was looking forward to seeing its great potential fulfilled.
Alas, history did not go down that road.

Only 2 books from it I got, and I still have them, Spacecraft 2000 to 2100, and Great Space Battles.

I have those too, as well as Starliners and Spacewreck. If you have a hankering for those (or any other books, for that matter), I recommend checking out https://www.bookfinder.com/.

The cover to the 8th issue of UK D&D magazine 'Imagine' which recycled the artwork created by Peter Goodfellow for a UK edition of Jack Vance's 'Trullion: Alastor 2262'

The poster for the Atari Game 'Final Legacy' a victim of the companies turmoil in the mid 80s. The game scenario has some vague similarities to the scenario in the novel 'DEMON-4' by David Mace in that it is set after WWIII and the player has to face a computer that is trying to win the war for it's side.

I would like to share with the forum the one hundred and twenty thousand illustrations in my collection, but copyright rules prevent it. So I use this section to share something from time to time.

Art is enigmatic, I don't understand what hidden reasons the cartoonist would have to include the guy on the left.

Vision of Tomorrow was an Anglo/Australian science fiction magazine that was published between 1969 & 1970. The third issue featured an Eddie Jones cover. He also provided illustrations for the first story in the magazine, Kenneth Bulmer's 'Shapers of Men', two of which feature rare (for Jones) illustrations of characters.
