Ryan’s Art Direction: “The story is called, ‘Rocket Jockey’, so draw some spaceships orbiting Jupiter along with a trash-compactor-carrying milkman wielding a plumber’s tool.”

Have Space Suit – Will Travel

17 Comments »

Sir, amongst others. Buddha and Sammy Davis Jr are orbiting the planet.Click for full image

Borkworm Bas Comments: This is a pretty early Heinlein cover which I quite like. Heinlein has fairly precise descriptions of the characters in the book including Oscar, the spacesuit. These descriptions are as faithfully depicted as possible by Steele Savage who obviously read the book or at least the descriptions. The plot is a bit strained but the relationship between a boy and his space suit is choice.

Gah! More floating heads!
Many thanks to Bookworm!
