No Klingons though...

This book has one of the most amazing collections of old-school sci-fi artwork compiled in one volume! Artwork includes a "Life on Mars" comic from 1899, plenty of covers from 1950's sci-fi pulp paperbacks, early sci-fi magazine covers (Analog, Astounding Stories, etc.), the 13-foot Martian woman, a page on the Star Trek comic book series, a page of Arthur C. Clarke book covers, and tons of black & white (and some color) drawings of all sorts of fantastical creatures, places and things.
