Owner's Description

The Fish-Men of Earth! I have to admit, I'm kind of engaged by this cover art. Although the 'movement' lines around the bodies are a little distracting, the coloration and composition are good. As with other covers that have groups of everyday people on them - I am drawn to specific people within the image. In the back there is both a woman in a dress (it is 1955) that seems impractical if everyone is flying and a man with a briefcase, swimming his way to work which I find interesting. I am disappointed that all the bodies are, more or less, tied to the horizontal plane - no-one is swimming directly up or down - in fact only the single female figure appears to have any significant incline to her position at all.
I probably wouldn't have selected this comic from the spinner-rack based on the cover art alone, but since I have always been fascinated by flying, I'm sure the story-teaser for the main story would have made me spend my ten cents.
