World’s Beyond Time: Sci-Fi Art of 1970s by Adam Rowe Hardcover Book

World’s Beyond Time: Sci-Fi Art of 1970s by Adam Rowe Hardcover Book

In the 1970s, mass-produced, cheaply printed science fiction novels were thriving.

The paper was rough, the titles outrageous, and the cover art astounding. Over the course of the decade, a stable of talented painters, comic book artists, and designers produced thousands of the most eye-catching book covers to ever grace bookstore shelves (or spinner racks). Curiously, the pieces commissioned for these covers often had very little to do with the contents of the books they were selling, but by leaning heavily on psychedelic imagery, far-out landscapes, and trippy surrealism, the art was able to satisfy the same space-race fueled appetite for the big ideas and brave new worlds that sci-fi writers were boldly pushing forward.
