Worlds Beyond Time is the definitive visual history of the spaceships, alien landscapes, cryptozoology, and imagined industrial machinery of 1970s paperback scifi art and the artists who created these extraordinary images.In the 1970s, massproduced, cheaply printed sciencefiction novels were thriving. The paper was rough, the titles outrageous, and the cover art astounding. Over the course of the decade, a stable of talented painters, comicbook artists, and designers produced thousands of the most eyecatching book covers to ever grace bookstore shelves (or spinner racks). Curiously, the pieces commissioned for these covers often had very little to do with the contents of the books they were selling, but by leaning heavily on psychedelic imagery, farout landscapes, and trippy surrealism, the art was able to satisfy the same space racefueled appetite for the big ideas and brave new worlds that scifi writers were boldly pushing forward.In Worlds Beyond Time: SciFi Art of the 1970s, Adam Rowewho has been curating, championing, and resurrecting the best and most obscure art that 1970s scifi has to offer on his blog 70s SciFi Artintroduces readers to the biggest names in the genre, including Chris Foss, Peter Elson, Tim White, Jack Gaughan, and Virgil Finlay, as well as their influences. With deep dives into the subject matter that commonly appeared on these coversspaceships, alien landscapes, fantasy realms, cryptozoology, and heavy machinerythis book is a loving tribute to a unique and robust art form whose legacy lives on both in nostalgic appreciation as well as the retrochic design of mainstream scifi films such as Guardians of the Galaxy, Alien: Covenant, and Thor: Ragnarok.Includes Color Illustrations
