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! ✨

art by David Pelham for J. G. Ballard's "The Wind From Nowhere", 1961

it's like, there's this big heavy tool of destruction and war, terrifying, but it's blowing in the wind, giant forces, overwhelming forces, are operating now. The mighty tank builders and their wars are meaningless here. haha. Really effective and simple imho. I haven't read this yet but I read and really liked "The Drowned World" by the author.
