THRILLS INC.

I have a real soft spot for that whole Rocket-jockey continuum thingy... and these issues of Thrills Inc. (from Australia) are just over the top in that regard.
Each one of these contains 50 pages of sheer atom-age nonsense!
The writing style is "ripping adventure" to the hilt, and the illustrations are just great... plus the covers are to die for!
THRILLS Inc. #2


THRILLS Inc. #4


THRILLS Inc. #5


Thrills Inc. #17 is smaller in size than the earlier issues, but the cover seems to make up for that. This ish comes compliments of some F. J. Ackerman guy.... (now where have I heard that name before??? ....hmmm, don't tell me... it'll come to me....)
THRILLS Inc. #17

Well, ya see, i've been busy...

What can I say. Sometimes I can't get even. Sorry I havn't been able to do anything much 'round here, but them's the breaks.

I'll be back sooner or later (hopefully sooner), but no promises.....

More van Vogt!

First up, some very early A.E van Vogt illustrations.

From "Discord In Scarlet" Astounding SF December 1939






And these are from "Slan", Astounding SF November 1940 issue -




"The Shadow Men" from Startling Stories, January 1950.






Some nice Grey Morrow illustrations from "The Silkie", IF - July '64






From "The Replicators", IF - Feb. '65




Plus, these beauties -

The Science Fiction Art of Alex Schomburg

Well, now that i'm able to recover all the data that was unavailable when my computer kaput - that is to say, the computer is still very dead but the data lingers on (Hooray!), or to put it another way, "Nothing here now but the recordings" as William S. Burroughs would have said....
Anyway, I digress....

Now that I can recover all the bits and pieces, i'm not reliant on reposted material, so first up is a nice selection of interior illustrations by Alex Schomburg from the early 1950's. Lots of cool space opera and flying saucer stuff in with these.

I have a bit of a hard time with that flying saucer poem though......
"From deepest Space the disks appear,
Like visitants from There to Here,"
...I mean - REALLY!
