 Inspiration for Chicken Fever? 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)

Re: Inspiration for Chicken Fever? 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.

Re: Inspiration for Chicken Fever? there is some other artwork floating around as well. I have it at home and can post it.
I think it's brilliant.
