Hey, it’s another oddly specific sci-fi art blog! Give it some love, guys.
The Player of Games cover art.
That’s some fantastique typography
The text below the picture has been transcribed and google-translated by a Gizmodo reader, revealing a 100-year-old French steampunky adventure:
“According to a German dispatch engineer, Otto Fisher had managed to build a rocket in which a passenger would have taken instead. In an experiment on the island of Rugen, Bruno Fisher, the brother of the inventor would have been thrown into this rocket six meters long, at an altitude of ten thousand meters in the stratosphere and wandered back down by a parachute system. Will we transfer confirmation of this sensational experience?”
Not 70s sci-fi, but I enjoyed this too much to pass up. From my mad science tumblr.
Still frame from 1973 french animated film La Planète sauvage (Fantastic Planet), directed by René Laloux.
