Looks like it was Jack Gaughan. |

Wow, that Gaughan sure had a way of making all his art look like a ton of fun and not work. Dan |

You know, it's a little depressing how many of those 1960's covers I remember. Probably still about a dozen on the shelves. |

I never read the novella, but I do remember thinking when I saw it, "that alien is reading on the toilet just like a human." |

Prolific artist,especially in the sixties: link Very fluid style. He had the ability to convey mass and movement with a few strokes, as seen in the little sketches he often provided inside the magazines,and on the title pages of a lot of the Ace paperbacks. Speaking of which, I think I first became aware of him as a distinct artist when I was given a copy of the first Ace edition of "The Dragon Masters":
A really cool,"jazzy" cover. Kind of appropriate,as Vance played jazz cornet. BTW, Gaughan did the covers for the very first paperback editions of The Lord of the Rings -- the infamous "pirate" editions:
Even though Tolkien encouraged the boycott of the Ace printings, he preferred Gaughan's artwork to that used for the Ballantines,which he famously detested. |
