The Covers of Imagination


From 1951 through 1958, Imagination magazine brought stories of science fiction and horror to eager readers.  Among the writers who appeared in Imagination were Philip K. Dick, Robert Heinlien, Robert Sheckley, and John Wyndham.  Today, the magazine is well-remembered for its exciting covers, which were done by some of the best artists working in the pulps.  You can’t have art without Imagination.

Below is a sampling of The Covers of Imagination: Stories of Science and Fantasy.
