-- FUTURE FANTASIES -- MAJORS
-------------------------------------------------------- Mel Crawford --------------------------------------------------------

[unknown artist], DEADLY DEPTHS, (FLASH GORDON # 29) - "Flash imperils his life to rescue an agent of . . . Ming The Merciless !"

Mel Crawford, THE PRINCE AND THE TRAITOR, (FLASH GORDON # 22) - "A secret radio signal lures Flash into Ming's electronic snare !" - The production artboard itself carried Crawford's identification.

Mel Crawford, BUCK ROGERS, (BUCK ROGERS # 2) - "Blast off with Buck, in Part 1 of the movie adaptation !"

Mel Crawford, THE CASE OF THE CATTLE KILLERS, (UFO & OUTER SPACE # 20) - "A fateful meeting takes place on the range between comboy and alien !"

Mel Crawford, -no title-, (UFO & OUTER SPACE # 18) - "Their destination . . . oblivion !" - At auction, this painting was identified as Crawford's.

Mel Crawford, TRICKED AND TRAPPED, (SUPERCAR # 4) - "With a stranger at the control, Supercar flies into the deadly crossfire of American planes and rockets !" - I've trusted one source for the Crawford identification, but note that Heritage Auctions wanted to tentatively attribute it to Ray Osrin instead.

Mel Crawford, TO ERR IS VULCAN, (STAR TREK # 59)

Mel Crawford (only my own attribution), THE TRIAL, (BUCK ROGERS # 7) - No one has identified this as Crawford's work, but I feel that we've seen him use this compositional strategy of the small floating character heads elsewhere.

Mel Crawford (only my own attribution), THE BATTLE OVER PLANET EARTH, (BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25th CENTURY # 8) - No one has put forward Crawford as the painter of this cover, but I feel that he has done at least a couple of paintings, uncontroversially ascribed to him, where he has used this small-heads-floating-around compositional strategy, so I'm putting this one under his name as well.

Mel Crawford (only my own attribution), MURDER ON THE ENTERPRISE, (STAR TREK # 48) - "Murder boards the Enterprise !" - I've seen no one hazard a guess for the identity of this piece's creator, but I propose that if you look at two of Mel Crawford's works, BUCK ROGERS (for Buck Rogers #2) and TO ERR IS VULCAN (for Star Trek #59), you will find the same style of floating heads and simplified faces - in fact, I think the two visages of Captain Kirk are pretty close.
-------------------------------------------------------- Luis Dominguez --------------------------------------------------------

Luis Dominguez, NOAH'S ARK, (MIGHTY SAMSON # 27) - "Old Noah wakes up to a violent new world . . . and decides to make it his !"

Luis Dominguez, [unknown title] - Noted as clearly created for some, as yet, unidentified SF project, perhaps a movie poster.

Luis Dominguez, THE POLLUTION PEOPLE, (MIGHTY SAMSON # 26) - "Pollution breathing creatures rise from the depths to strike those who threaten their existence !"

Luis Dominguez, THE VIRGINIA GIANT, (UFO FLYING SAUCERS # 5) - "Giants From The Unknown - Invisible Creatures - The Drama That Launched Nationwide Hysteria" Note there are significant changes on the art as it is used on the comic cover, namely that a spaceship is put in place of the unknown intense light source, and that the starry sky is altered to a much more atmospheric ground-fog setting

Luis Dominguez, JOURNEY INTO THE PAST, (MIGHTY SAMSON # 29) - "The fabled unicorn - now a lethal radioactive mutant !" - This work seems to have been credited to George Wilson for some time now (most pointedly in the Dark Horse collection of these stories), but the preliminary drawing came up for auction and was clearly credited to Dominguez and was amid a wealth of his particular materials.

Luis Dominguez (only my own attribution), ACCIDENT IN HYPER-SPACE, (SPACE FAMILY ROBINSON # 40) - "Hyper-Space . . . where Tim and Tam fight to survive while they shrink in size !" - A trusted source credits George Wilson in having painted this, but I have my doubts. The bird-beast is detailed in a segmented fashion that I haven't seen before from Wilson and I just have to feel that he would executed the background differently. Alternatively, those aspects seem to fit just fine in Dominguez's canon.

Luis Dominguez (only my own attribution), SAMSON'S MASTERS, (MIGHTY SAMSON # 28) - "Statues become living weapons in a war against Samson !" - In the Dark Horse trade-paperback collecting this particualar run of stories, George Wilson is credited with all the covers, but one was clearly shown to have been instead executed by Luis Dominguez. That, and the fact that at least one other source has pointed to Dominguez for one or two others, has lead me to evaluate & conclude that he did most of them (when these original canvases have come up for auction, they have been left unattributed - This painting was among those).

Luis Dominguez (only my own attribution), TRAPPED IN SPACE, (SPACE FAMILY ROBINSON # 43) - "Trapped In Space ! A laser-spouting warship zeroes in on Tim and Tam." - When this painting came up for auction some time ago, it was attributed to George Wilson and didn't really seem to draw any negative commentary as such, but now, to my eyes, when you plop it down among works clearly credited to Dominguez, it just seems obvious that the human figures are his and not Wilson's.

Luis Dominguez, THE ATTACK OF THE LOPIDOP-TERROR, (MIGHTY SAMSON # 31) - "Giant moths spread their fearsome wings over N'Yark !"

Luis Dominguez (only our own attributtion), THE BALLOON GODS, (MIGHTY SAMSON # 30) - "A strange and furious battle explodes in the skies of N'Yark !" - In the Dark Horse trade-paperback collecting this particualar run of stories, George Wilson is credited with all the covers, but one was clearly shown to have been instead executed by Luis Dominguez. That, and the fact that at least one other source has pointed to Dominguez for one or two others, has lead me to evaluate & conclude that he did most of them (when these original canvases have come up for auction, they have been left unattributed). This painting was among those.

Luis Dominguez (only my own attribution), BATTLE OF GIANTS, (SPACE FAMILY ROBINSON # 41) - "Battle Of Giants! A clash between two men of magic who transform themselves into gigantic beasts !" - This comic-book cover seems to pretty standardly credited to George Wilson, but after noting the 'crenulation' of both the ground and the glowing cat, and Dominguez's repeated usage of that texture-scheme (not to mention the slightness of the hero-figure) makes me rather put it in *his* portfolio instead.

Luis Dominguez (only my own attribution), THE HIDDEN WORLD, (SPACE FAMILY ROBINSON # 42) - "The Robinsons are attacked by a poisonous predator deep within a hidden world !" - One trusted source attributes this to George Wilson, but when I look at the crenulated ground and simplier vehicle & spacesuit, it says Dominguez to me.

Luis Dominguez (only my own attribution), AND A CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM !, (STAR TREK # 52) - No trusted source yet attributes this cover to Dominguez, but from an amatuer perspective, I'm going to pluck this one out of the 'unknowns' because the small figures & faces suggest him to me like no other candidate.

Luis Dominguez (only my own attribution), -no title-, (UFO & OUTER SPACE # 19) - "Found ! An ancient tomb - for cavemen or spacement ?" - One source want's to tentatively attribute this to Dominguez, and I have to say the human figures & faces make me agree.
-------------------------------------------------------- Kelly Freas --------------------------------------------------------

Kelly Freas, NEBULA ALERT - "The impossible route to a rebel universe" - The Ace paperback release of this entry in A. Bertram Chandler's short Empress Irene series. Here it was 'doubled', back-to-back, with a different novel, Mack Reynolds' The Rival Rigelians.

  Kelly Freas, UNKNOWN WORLDS OF SCIENCE FICTION, (UNKNOWN WORLDS OF SCIENCE FICTION # 1) - "Tales of time and space by the world's foremost illustrators featuring Day Of The Triffids // Exclusive Interview With Ray Bradbury--Most famous SF author of all time"). The Australian release of this publication used this painting by Freas, preserving it's original form, but the American editors decided to have John Romita create an overlay reformulating the cowering couple. The painting was utilized again, much later, on the cover of ALIEN INVASIONS! THE HISTORY OF ALIENS IN POP CULTURE.

Kelly Freas, THE SPACE WILLIES - "You can't keep an Earthman down" - One of two Ace Double paperback editions of Eric Frank Russell's science-fiction novel (it remained in print under a new title, Next Of Kin). Both editions doubled it back-to-back with a Russell short-story collection called Six Worlds Yonder.)

Kelly Freas, UP TO THE SKY IN SHIPS - The NESFA special publication of this short-story collection from A. Bertram Chandler. It was
'doubled' back-to-back with Lee Hoffman's collection, In And Out Of Quandry (also with Freas cover art).

Kelly Freas, OUT LIKE A LIGHT, (ASTOUNDING 1960-Apr) - "Out Like A Light,by Mark Phillips"

Kelly Freas, IN AND OUT OF QUANDRY - The NESFA special publication of this short-piece collection from Lee Hoffman. It was
'doubled' back-to-back with A. Bertam Chandler's collection, Up To The Sky In Ships (also with Freas cover art).

Kelly Freas, MERRY CHRISTMAS, (ASTOUNDING 1959-Jan) - This art appears to simply mark the season, rather than associating with anything within the magazine.

Kelly Freas, FELINE RED, (PLANET STORIES 1954-Jan) - "A Sound Of Thunder by Ray Bradbury // Mars Minus Bisha novelet by Leigh Brackett" - Though not mentioned on the cover, the art illustrates this story by Robert Sampson within the magazine.

Kelly Freas, THE HARD WAY UP - "They met danger and glory out beyond the Rim Stars" - The Ace paperback release of this collection by A. Bertram Chandler (it was 'doubled' with The Veiled World by Robert Lori).

Kelly Freas, CATCH THE STAR WINDS - "Black-powder cannon and sailing ships...against the seas of space !" - The Lancer paperback release of this entry in the John Grimes series by A. Bertram Chandler (a story that was originally titled The Winds Of If).

Kelly Freas, LORELEI OF THE RED MIST, (TOPS IN SCIENCE FICTION 1953-Fall) - "Bradbury - Brackett - Abernathy - Parker" - The cover was featured in his THE ART OF SCIENCE FICTION.

Kelly Freas, THE FAR TRAVELLER 1 - This was produced as an artprint sold by Starblaze Graphics (whose promotion of it seems to have titled it SPACE PROBE). The original painting's matting carries our title here and also the note "Analog", leading one to believe that it may have have had some use planned and/or realized in conjunction with that magazine. It seems clear that it was not intended for association with the later published roleplaying-game magazine or A. Bertram Chandler's similarly titled book (which admittedly did appear in ANALOG...)
-------------------------------------------------------- Wilf Hardy --------------------------------------------------------

Wilf Hardy, BAC MUSTARD (in SPACE WARS-FACT AND FICTION) - While it's very likely there was a previous use of this art (perhaps in LOOK AND LEARN magazine) we found it in SPACE WARS-FACT AND FICTION, as one of the disparate illustrations for the essay entitled Man Reaches Out. It depicts the 'Multi-Unit Space Transport And Recovery Device' (MUSTARD) as designed by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC).

Wilf Hardy, WILL THE NEXT WAR BE FOUGHT IN SPACE?, (in LOOK AND LEARN # 820) - Several years later the art (and perhaps the entire article) was re-used in SPACE WARS-FACT AND FICTION

 Wilf Hardy, AN EYE IN SPACE (in LOOK AND LEARN magazine) - The art accompanied this article in the magazine and was re-used, along with the article (now called 'Eye In Orbit'), in SPACE WARS-FACT AND FICTION. The narrative details the advantages of Orbital Astronomical Observatories (OAOs) and their position above Earth's murky atmosphere. Less than a handful were yet operating at the release of the magazine or later book (and none of them looked like this space-plane proposal).

Wilf Hardy, DOME OF DOOM, (in SPACE WARS-FACT AND FICTION) - Have yet to find a previous use of this painting, like many of the others found here have had.

Wilf Hardy, SPACE WARS-FACT AND FICTION - While many items of this post-StarWars publication seem to have been culled from Britain's Look And Learn family of juvenile magazines, this cover may have been painted by Hardy specfically for it. Half of his name can be made out at the bottom right of the resulting work.

Wilf Hardy, IS THERE LIFE ON THE FORBIDDEN PLANET?, (LOOK AND LEARN # 527) - This art was later re-used as an interior illustration in Space Wars-Fact And Fiction.

Wilf Hardy, ROUGH JUSTICE OPPORTUNITY (in SPACE WARS-FACT AND FICTION) - While it's very likely there was a previous use of this art (perhaps in LOOK AND LEARN's RANGER magazine) we found it in SPACE WARS-FACT AND FICTION, as one of the disparate illustrations for the story Rough Justice. Hardy's name can be made out at the bottom-right.

Wilf Hardy, NOAH'S ARK IN SPACE (in LOOK AND LEARN # 575) - Years after it appeared in this juvenile magazine, the artwork (and it's article) were re-cycled into SPACE WARS-FACT AND FICTION.

Wilf Hardy, THE MOON (in unknown issue of LOOK AND LEARN) - "Special Report on The Moon Part One" - From the 1960s or 1970s, this art illustrated the speculation of what course our Moon exploration would take. That art would later be re-used as the endpapers of SPACE WARS-FACT AND FICTION.

 Wilf Hardy, ORBITAL ATTACK - This art, with our created title here, seems to have been first used in Look And Listen magazine and re-purposed years later to accompany an entry about seeding Venus in SPACE WARS-FACT AND FICTION. Image licensers identify this as being by Hardy.
-------------------------------------------------------- Bob Larkin --------------------------------------------------------

> Bob Larkin, CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, (PLANET OF THE APES # 17) - "All New! Beginning this issue--'Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes!'" - This was the first part of Marvel's comic adaptation, by Doug Moench, of this film.

Bob Larkin, LOGAN'S SEARCH - "Beyond infinite terror and instant joy-the spellbounding climax of Logan's last terrifying run" - The Bantam Books paperback release of this novel by William F. Nolan ("author of Logan's Run and Logan's World"). A blog dedicated to Larkin's art states this is his piece. (Note that Nolan wrote a fourth story many years later, Logan's Return, which seems to be accesible only if you can get your hands on a xeroxed copy of the original manuscript.)

Bob Larkin, BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES, (PLANET OF THE APES # 7) - "Beginning in this issue: 'Marvel's adaptation of Beneath The Planet Of The Apes" - This was the first part, by Doug Moench, of this film adaptation. This painting was featured in PLANET OF THE APES ARTIST TRIBUTE.

Bob Larkin, URSUS, (PLANET OF THE APES: URSUS # 1(variant)) - "One nation, under apes...! Forbidden Zone Prime" - This painting, portraying the series' initial villain, ape General Ursus, was created for the cover of Marvel's comic magazine, PLANET OF THE APES #30 and indeed that cover was completely made up and ready for press when the cancellation hammer came down. Much, much later, that complete cover, with all typography intact (including issue-number), was published as a variant cover for the Boom! Studios release of the first issue of their limited-series, PLANET OF THE APES:URSUS. This painting was featured in PLANET OF THE APES ARTIST TRIBUTE.

Bob Larkin, PLANET OF THE APES 1, (PLANET OF THE APES # 1) - "First issue phantasmagoria! An exclusive interview with 'Apes' screenwriter Rod Serling // Photos, features, and all-new story strips of the greatest fantasy film series of all time // Extra bonus: How To Make A Man-Ape" - The first issue of this comic magazine with the first part of Marvel's comic adaptation of the film, along with a new story.

Was there modification needed before publication (or afterwards by the artist) or is our original-art here actually a recreation?

 Alex Schomburg, STARTLING STORIES 1953 JANUARY, (STARTLING STORIES 1953-Jan) - "featuring Double Meaning a novel by Damon Knight and Overdrive a novelette by Murray Leinster" - The cover art here apparently does not associate with any particular story within.
