  13. People of the Talisman - cover by Ed Emshwiller
    Listen! The Stars! - cover by Ed Emshwiller

    I love the tag lines for these -
    "Tune in on eternity -- and disappear"
    "Find the Gates of Death -- and live!"

    The style of these old covers is so weird. When I was young the weirdness was disturbing, like, why would someone want to add this weird ugly thing to reality? but now I'm into it, our minds get to play with whatever they want, it's fantasy and it's fun.

    Plus, the real world is well weird, too. Listen! The Stars! ✨
