Owner's Description

"Beware the Synthetic Men!" There's a classic! Compare it with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - also a good choice in 1952. There aren't all that many Capt. Comet covers to begin with, and a couple of them have pretty bad cover art - but this one certainly doesn't. There isn't any background to set the scene, but there doesn't really need to be either. Strong yellow background, cool looking and well drafted synthetic men, Captain Comet in his red as well as our damsel in distress in a great looking blue dress - lots strong colors working together to craft an engaging cover scene.
The only text on the cover isn't set out in a text box and there are no word balloons nor thought bubbles to trash up the cover art.
All in all, I think this is a really strong cover composition and I am certain that I would have parted with my hard earned ten cents to take this book home from the corner store.
