Well, as cosplay it’s cheap, at least.
No publication date?

@THX – You try Googling it!
But I eventually figured out a way.

I am looking forward to this being in the next set of Lee Moyer Cover Recreations.

A Doug McClure movie of an Alan Parsons Project concept album?

Doctor, the recurring nightmare I’ve been telling you about? The one where I’m giving a departmental progress report to the executive board in my underwear? Well, it’s getting worse, not better…

“Getting a little hippy there, Grok. Better hit the exercise wheel.”
“Hunh, and you with the man-boobs.”

So which of the four titles listed does this illustrate? My guess is #3.

Needs a “convenient censoring” tag for that club…

@Tat – “Awkward for All”

Any minute now, someone is going to make a joke about a meeting of Trump supporters.

@Tor “Hey, we heard they giving away free maga hats!”

Can I call ‘em or what? 🙂

@Leak: ATTACK OF THE SELF-CENSORING CAVEMEN!
February 27th, 2019 at 2:32 am
As usual, Grog hadn’t bothered to shave before the attack on the spaceship, embarrassing his fellow clan members.

Is that a cold planet? Because I think we’re looking at significant, er, shrinkage here.

Aside from the cavemen, the picture is a bit confusing in other ways. Is that an entrance or an exit? Is the yellow in the back the sky and they’re come in? Or is it indoor lighting and they’re coming out? Is the orange bit sky, roof, or an unrelated part of the cover? Is the green stuff carpet? Grass? AstroTurf?

Grog’s got him some birthin’ hips. Wondering if we have an intersex caveperson there. The leader’s got weird pecs and weird ribs.
Who had the gall to mark this up to 1/6? I can’t see how it would have been worth 150% at a later time.
I would not read this on the bus. I doubly would not read this on the bus in 1950.
@JuanPaul: Trumpsters would be carrying guns, and not wearing jewelry.
@Bruce: Ya got me. There’s no right angles to go off of. The green stuff appears to be carpet; they could be going from one indoor room to another, all in hideous colours.

Nothing says ‘science fiction’ like a bunch of cave men.

It seems to be a reprint magazine, ‘Science-Fiction Library No. 1’: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?601536 Two stories are from 1941, another by an author who died in 1947 and the remaining one by an author who seems to have only published that one story. I suspect there are no great lost classics amongst them.
But I would point you I the direction of ‘Science-Fiction Library No.2’: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?601539 which is arguably even worse – if Good Show sir hasn’t done that cover already, I feel they should do so pronto!

@StevenLP: so you’re saying we need a Science Fiction Double Feature? Possibly at the late night picture show, with Michael Rennie?
But seriously — even ISFDB can’t find any info about issue #3. Possibly a mercy.

The story title “Awkward For Me” is a superb, nay, SUBLIME example of ironic juxtaposition. Hat’s off to the publisher who probably changed his name after this.
March 13th, 2019 at 2:24 pm
I wonder what the one in the back is smirking about.
