Owner's Description
"We Fought the Beasts of Petrified Island!" Okayyyy...this could be the least weird cover in the entire run. There's no freaky monsters or weird-ass aliens. Just some petrified early mammals, that died out some 4 to 11 thousand years ago. Hey - shouldn't this be labeled as a "partial sketch cover"? Sorry, random intrusive thought. Anyway, as I was saying, not exactly the level of weirdness I am used to from MGA covers. But - oddly, a pretty solid cover image, right? The strong white and blue diagonal division of the field is interesting. The red & green masthead stands out strongly against the blue sky, and the one word balloon sits mostly against the white background, so it doesn't startle the viewer. It's just dumb. "prehistoric" - wrong. But we didn't know as much in 1960 about the eras of early mammals, and we certainly didn't know yet that the mammoths lived well into the Holocene Epoch (the current one).
Overall? Oh gee, I don't know. Maybe. Early mammals were not as interesting to me as dinosaurs - so I might not have picked this one up from the spinner rack.
