<strong>Aaron</strong> <strong>Marcus</strong>, The Past 100 Years of the Future, Page 7<br />

Figures: Examples of sci-fi magazines: Science-Fiction Plus<br />

This publication was one of very few large-format magazines, as opposed to the smaller<br />

“pulp-paper” magazines publishing novellas, short stories, <strong>and</strong> articles about sciencefiction.<br />

The cover illustrations especially excited the imagination of readers, in addition to<br />

interior illustrations. Several illustrators were “legends” of the time, such as Ed<br />

Emshwiller, Virgil Finlay, Kelly Freas, <strong>and</strong> others who emblazoned the pages with<br />

imaginative images of equipment (suggestions of software <strong>and</strong> telecommunications),<br />

powerful men, exotic robots <strong>and</strong> aliens, <strong>and</strong> unusually voluptuous women.<br />
