===== From denny1@home.com: Nice idea. I love the old Amazing Stories magazines. I guess the helmet dome is a flexible plastic, not glass. It looks like it intersects with the ground. Likewise the left shoulder of the spacesuit appears to intersect the ground. The ladder leaning against the rocket has one leg outside the door, and one inside. If the door were opened, the ladder would be knocked aside and fall to the ground. Or is that how the astronaut died, and then the aliens put the ladder back up to get inside and loot his spaceship? ===== From xtmb@solutions.fi: As I love pulp-scifi, I liked this image too. The rocket is so 50s... but it should have more detail. Nice colors. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Nice idea, poor follow-through on making it look like 40's comic book. It could have been very 3-D, yet still comic bookish. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Nice interpretation. Sad. I would have liked to see a more elaborate rocket. ===== From shipbrk@gate.net: Great concept. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Good concept. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Oh, very nifty! :-) Neatly done. I'm worried about the fog appearing in front of the words however, and the rocket looks like a shiny plastic toy. Detailing on the rocket would definitely help. Maybe a little colour to contrast as well. ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: Good way to include credits; liked it overall. ===== From jull43@ij.net: I will swear I have seen that cover before. The artistic merit has to do to the creator of it. It is extremely realistic of the old pulp covers. But imitation to the point of copying? ===== From r@ipa26.turbont.net: Nice concept and execution, although the rocket could use some detail work. To be truthful, I think it'd be more effective without the magazine theme -- but nice job Notable for composition, originality ===== From r@209.155.62.50: Prescient use of the flag adopted in 1964!
