Brian W. Aldiss: Cover Gallery

Another very patchy collection, especially embarrassing as Brian Aldiss is not only one of Britain's finest writers but is still adding to his CV, his latest novel appearing in 2009 and his latest collection of poetry published only a matter of months ago. He also very kindly wrote a foreword to Sci-Fi Art: A Graphic History. Brian has a website and you can find out more about his work at Wikipedia.

  1. Beautiful cover gallery Steve. You have done the man justice. And that Pennington cover for Space, Time and Nathaniel was everywhere when I was a teen and I loved it!

  2. Wonderful! Especially Bruce Pennington's classic !970s covers, some of which graced my bedroom wall for years after they were given away as posters in 'Target' magazine. In my humble opinion NEL's 1971 edition of 'Space Time and Nathaniel' features the most sublime Science Fiction cover ever - even if none of the stories contained within quite lived up to its promise (Personally I've always felt that Brian should have been challenged to write a brand new novel based directly on the imaginative interplay between that title and image!).

  3. Some stunning covers!

  4. Steve - have you ever covered the artwork of Gerry (brother of Ron) Embleton?

  5. Ah, those purple Corgis with the fabric texture.

  6. While the Pennington's are uniformly excellent, they're Pennington's after all, my favourite is the Four Square 'Earthworks.' Thanks for the gallery, Steve, like you my collection is sorely lacking his more recent work.

  7. Good to see that people appreciate these galleries. I love doing the SF galleries with covers from the 1970s/1980s because that was when I was reading SF (almost exclusively) and those are the covers I remember with most affection.

    As for the best of this particular bunch, all I can say is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Although 'Space, Time and Nathaniel' has always been one of my favourites, I think I'd have to say that Pennington's 'The Airs of Earth' is the best of his Aldiss covers.

  8. We may disagree on the best of those Aldiss covers, but only by a hairsbreadth Steve. While 'Space, Time and Nathaniel' is my all-time favorite 'The Airs of Earth' has always ranked as a very close second!

  9. the two Four square covers of "The dark light years" and "Earthworks" are without a doubt two Karel Thole works.

  10. Thanks for the i.d. of Karel Thole. I've now added his credits to the gallery.
