Owner's Description
Plight of the Human Cocoons! As covers go, I've always been strangely enchanted by this issue. The giant aliens are well set up with their bug-eyes, bat-winged ears, and sharp-toothed mouths and the artist did a nice job of using the cliff/hill to be able to show both the primary giant alien & the primary human in the foreground. The cocoon issue is interesting - the aliens use guns to shoot the material, giving the impression of evil intent, and the toothy smile certainly adds to it - but are they really evil? Or are they collecting prize specimens in order to keep the human species alive folling some coming cataclysm?
Big bonuses for me - the lack of word balloons and thought bubbles - the expressions sell the cover. Great use of color - blue sky, orange jumper, yellow alien.
Overall, I have to say this cover would have separated me from my hard-earned 12 cents as a child.
