| laureline bikini: Worlds Beyond Time Adam Rowe, 2023-07-25 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. 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). 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, far-out landscapes, and trippy surrealism, the art was able to satisfy the same space race–fueled appetite for the big ideas and brave new worlds that sci-fi writers were boldly pushing forward. In Worlds Beyond Time: Sci-Fi Art of the 1970s, Adam Rowe—who has been curating, championing, and resurrecting the best and most obscure art that 1970s sci-fi has to offer on his blog 70s Sci-Fi Art—introduces 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 covers—spaceships, alien landscapes, fantasy realms, cryptozoology, and heavy machinery—this book 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.

| laureline bikini: Robot 60 Vittorio Curtoni, 2010-07-20 RIVISTE - Eugie Foster, Mike Resnick, Lezli Robyn, Ruth Nestvold, Dario Tonani, Danilo Arona, Nicoletta Vallorani, Francesco Dimitri, interviste con Joe Dante, Gianfranco de Turris, Sebastiano Fusco Chi siamo noi? Spesso per confrontarci col mondo e con gli altri esseri umani indossiamo una maschera, che ci protegge e ci aiuta a essere classificati dal prossimo nelle categorie che ci definiscono. Ma non sarebbe bello se la maschera oltre all’aspetto ci fornisse anche l’anima, un passato, dei ricordi, una vita immaginaria da cambiare ogni giorno come si cambia d’abito? È l’affascinante mondo descritto dal racconto di Eugie Foster, Premio Nebula 2010, che apre questo numero. E del rapporto tra anima, carne e metallo parla anche la collaborazione transoceanica tra l’americano Mike Resnick e l’australiana Lezli Robyn. Ancora carne e metallo con i paguri, gli esseri metà uomo e metà automobile immaginati da Dario Tonani. Del tutto privo di carne è l’interlocutore dello sfortunato turista marziano immaginato da Ruth Nestvold e senz’anima, ma in un altro senso, sono i turisti raccontati da Nicoletta Vallorani su un pianeta che ricorda molto Pandora. E non potevano a questo punto mancare le anime maledette raccontate da due maestri del fantastico, Danilo Arona e Francesco Dimitri. Nella parte saggistica una lunga e biografica intervista col duo storico Gianfranco de Turris e Sebastiano Fusco e un’intervista col leggendario regista Joe Dante. |
