Aaron Marcus, The Past 100 Years of the Future, Page 7 Figures: Examples of sci-fi magazines: Science-Fiction Plus This publication was one of very few large-format magazines, as opposed to the smaller “pulp-paper” magazines publishing novellas, short stories, and articles about sciencefiction. The cover illustrations especially excited the imagination of readers, in addition to interior illustrations. Several illustrators were “legends” of the time, such as Ed Emshwiller, Virgil Finlay, Kelly Freas, and others who emblazoned the pages with imaginative images of equipment (suggestions of software and telecommunications), powerful men, exotic robots and aliens, and unusually voluptuous women. (Acknowledgement: Science-Fiction Plus, TBD). 7
Aaron Marcus, The Past 100 Years of the Future, Page 8 My Own Credentials Such was the world in which I grew up in the early 1950s in Omaha, Nebraska, reading with amazement classic Jules Verne novels, popular pulp science-fiction magazines like Galaxy, Astounding, and If, and the Ace double-novels (with two front covers and one half of the book printed upside down. I, too, dreamed of the future, and even at the age of about 10 in 1953, had already constructed my own rocket-ship control panel in my own rocket-ship control-room, by which I could fly to other planets. My drawings and paintings featued adaptions of the latest science-fiction illustrators like Chesley Bonestell and Virgil Finlay, whose works inspired and thrilled me. 8
