Are these the 7 best book cover designs in classic science fiction? Personally, I've never even seen any of them before. They all look like British editions. http://t.co/ZUjZO2Vhr8

Jupiter Ascending may not be very good, but the movie certainly looked great and it started with the concept art. http://t.co/pcvimYPde2

These images of Communist life in space as imagined by Soviets don't look too different from the Western ones. http://t.co/G1Y8kuFEJb

Found it. 🙂
May 1979 issue:

Nice find. I also loved Omni and remember buying the first issue when it hit the newsstands and I bought it religiously for many years. Of course, they’re all long gone, although I did buy an issue at a used book store not that long ago because it contained the first published story by William Gibson.

I remember the TV ads announcing the magazine launch! Did not buy the first few issues but when I finally did, I too bought them for years. But I do remember it slowly deteriorating towards the end. But for a while there it was simply amazing. The fiction, the art, the tech, the bios, the ‘weird’, and of course the brain teasers. So many awesome articles I can still recall today.

If Star Wars was a story set in a 1980s high school, it would look something like this: http://t.co/DrU3Fvp821

My high school years were in the 70s, but the archetypes of the nerds and jocks still resonated with me. It would be great if someone turned this into an animated feature!

Pretty cool. I like how they replaced the Millenium Falcon with a Z-28 Camaro sporting the eagle hood emblem. Spot on eighties (at least in the neighborhood I lived)!

The Nerd-droids really cracked me up, as does Coach Yoda. 🙂
They use something here that many (including me)gree on: Han shot first.

NASA or MOMA? Is it art or a photo from a space probe? Pretty easy to tell the difference, if you ask me. http://t.co/r2GpbRMXbm

I wish they would have had Google Earth links to show where these images came from
-
Lazarus
I guess you could make it kind of a game and see if you could Google Earth similar images yourself. Then is Google Image search on “MOMA” (or other artistic key words) and find other pics that could be NASA images.
I guess it’s true. We ARE living in a Google world.

That was fun. I got most of them as soon as I looked at the picture, but there were a few that I really couldn’t tell and had to scroll down.

If you’re an Alien fan, you’ll surely dig these early storyboards drawn by Ridley Scott himself. http://t.co/SCnZvI4e
Capt. Xerox are discussing. 
I remember one of the earlier Omni magazines I read had a feature spread on some Russian artist whose space art just blew me away. Comparable to Chesley Bonestell. I think his name was Sokolov (or something like it) although Google is failing me now. (Looking at the art Google culls for Sokolov looks kinda like the art I recall, but not quite.) May have to dig into that Omni internet archive. Once again I wish I had kept my Omni mags.
