With a mixed sense of sadness and achievement I'm letting you know my collection of science fiction and fantasy covers has run out! I'm going to put this account into Loop Mode where it posts everything all over again from day one, but there over a thousand of them so a loop will take years. Thanks for your support! Coming soon, the same type of thing for classic Marvel comics covers. #Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

WOW!!! A cloaking device and its hiding something beyond human technology?!!!

Another uncertain ending as we head into the last two episodes of season three.

Join us next week on Saturday, October 24th at 3:00 pm EDT (UTC-4) for our final The Ark watch/rewatch party.

We’ll be seeing

S3E11 A Pretty Nasty One

S3E12 We Can’t Save Everyone

————————————————————

There’s been a suggestion that we continue beyond this war patch party series for the show on Syfy with some other shows or films related to colony ships / sleeper ships facing disaster. (e.g., Ark II, The Starlost)

Let’s me know if there’s any broader interest please.

@Phangurl@tenforward.social thanks for letting me know!

Disasters on colonial sleeper ships seems to be it’s very own SciFi subgenre.

Perhaps I will run a poll…

My preference would to be to kick off with a one time joint watch of the movie Per Aspera Ad Astra (2026) from Mainland China in collaboration with #KungFuSat and #ActionMatinee if their hosts are up for it.

The movie takes place on a colonial sleeper ship which wakes up a sysadmin to check out the AI responsible for the virtual environments of the sleepers. A bit of Star Trek professionalism and holodeck malfunctions, the Matrix, and tributes to old HK action movies mixed in.

It’s a fun ride but only available for streaming on Netflix.

ARKADY (1985) Acrylic on Canvas - 32” x 20” Having passed through terrible destruction, the former hub of the Galaxy in Isaac Asimov's classic opus is now a pastoral world. 1/5 #sciencefiction #illustration #isaacasimov #foundation #delreybooks

Tonight I'm screening "Outland" (1981) starring Sean Connery. I saw it in the theater at about age 14, loved it, only seen it once or twice since, and it has been a few decades. I hope it holds up OK to my memories, acknowledging its time period (no CGI, model ships, real sets, etc.) Maybe I'll circle back tomorrow with a review. #ScienceFiction#80s #Movie #Film

Oh man! A random early-evening excursion with my wife and son pays off! I grew up in Massachusetts, so I spent a lot of time watching WSBK TV38 and WLVI 56 a lot when I was a kid, with some of the Worcester Channel 27 mixed in. THIS was a regular staple on both 56 AND 38 over the years, and every time it was on, I’d watch it. Seeing it on BluRay got me extremely sentimental, and I HAVE to grab it. I probably haven’t seen it since ‘89 or ‘90. We’re gonna find out real quick how it’s aged as a film for me, but just physically having it makes me very happy. Sometimes, you just need to watch a group of ragtag companions invade an alien fortress in order to save a bride (AND your own planet). If you’ve never seen Krull, it’s got VERY YOUNG versions of Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane (R.I.P.) in it. Finding this is making me way too happy. 😂 #movies #film #films #1980s #80s #80smovies #sciencefiction #fantasy #retro #vintage #krull

DRAGONFLIGHT (1978) Acrylic on Masonite - 20" X 30" For the first book in Anne McCaffrey's now legendary Dragonriders of Pern series, I wanted to create a literal visualization of the title. I selected an aerial point-of-view and tilted the horizon to simulate the dizzying sensation of flight. 1/4 #sciencefiction #illustration #annemccaffrey #pern #dragon #delreybooks

Das deutsche „Star Trek“: 60 Jahre „Raumpatrouille Orion“ Am 17. September 1966 startete die erste deutsche Science-Fiction-Serie. „Raumpatrouille Orion“ hat nur sieben Folgen, ist in Schwarz-weiß – und wird doch Kult. https://www.heise.de/hintergrund/Das-deutsche-Star-Trek-60-Jahre-Raumpatrouille-Orion-11456545.html?wt_mc=sm.red.ho.mastodon.mastodon.md_beitraege.md_beitraege&utm_source=mastodon #K #ARD #Bluray #Entertainment #Filme #Medien #ScienceFiction #Weltraum #news

THE MASTER MIND OF MARS (1978) Acrylic - 21" x 27" The only John Carter cover in which I intentionally deviated from the story. The Master Mind does not appear in the actual scene but Lester del Rey thought the cover should go along with the title, so I took liberty placing the character there. 1/5 #sciencefiction #illustration #edgarriceburroughs #martiantales #barsoom #delreybooks

DRAGON ABOARD (2013) Acrylic - 18” x 24” Anne McCaffrey often reminded readers that her Pern novels were science fiction. This scene from ALL THE WEYRS OF PERN did exactly that and was originally chosen for the cover. 1/3 #sciencefiction #illustration #annemccaffrey #pern #dragon
