Worlds Beyond Time is the definitive visual history of the spaceships, alien landscapes, cryptozoology, and imagined industrial machinery of 1970s paperback sci-fi art and the artists who created these extraordinary images.
This collectible volume is a loving tribute to a unique and robust art form whose legacy lives on, both in nostalgic appreciation as well as the retro-chic design of mainstream sci-fi films such as Guardians of the Galaxy, Alien: Covenant, and Thor: Ragnarok.
In the 1970s, mass-produced, cheaply printed science-fiction 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, comic-book artists, and designers produced thousands of the most eye-catching book covers to ever grace bookstore shelves (or spinner racks).
