via boing boing

Golden Age Comic Book Stories has a small gallery of scans from science fiction illustrator Edd Cartier's 1951 "Travelers of Space."

Cartier's bug-eyed monsters are second to none. As Bruce Sterling notes, "with vampires, werewolves and zombies absolutely littering the pop-culture landscape, you have to wonder why these sweet little guys haven't made a major comeback." Travelers of Space, Published by Gnome Press ~ 1951 (via Beyond the Beyond)

Ah. It's nice to finally see the picture. I remember that there's a very old thread on sb about how the chicken fever was based on an alien or ufo but no one had the picture back then.

there is some other artwork floating around as well. I have it at home and can post it.

I think it's brilliant.

Very cool. Looks like that first one also got ripped off for one of the patchi cards.
