Owner's Description
"I Was Referee of the Alien Creatures!" Not really a lot going on in this cover image to talk about - is there? Both the aliens are bipeds and it looks like they are no larger than the human, in totally not dynamic poses - so, yeah, some seriously boring choices there by Dick & Sheldon. I think what bothers me the most is the absolute failure with color. How lazy can you get? The red dude with a yellow fin growing out of his head is wearing gloves and shorts of the exact same shade of yellow - bullshit. And the same goes for the dude with the kinda cool patterning on his flesh - his few garments are the exact same shade or purple as his lips/horns/eye area - again - bullshit. Put that craptastic coloring job up against a background of "I don't want to draw bubble(?) forcefield(?), so I'm just making some vague-ass lines" and you have a cover that fails on just about every level.
Overall? This crap? Separate me from my hard earned dime? Hell no. Although March 1961 wasn't exactly a banner month for cover art - Strange Adventures 126 is kinda poor, Tales of the Unexpected 59 is a word fest, House of Mystery 108 is crap; Probably if I only have one thin dime to spend - Mystery in Space is the winner with a kinda cool cover - but with awesome glass helmets.
