Or are the Humans the ones who crashed on some icy world? Anyone know what the story is on that picture? Dan

One of the secret Canadian space bases on Hudson Bay under attack by a horde of creatures from south of the US-Canada border wall (probably Minnesota Vikings supporters) … if I am not mistaken, the crashed spaceship is an AVRO Arrow III interceptor of the Royal Canadian Aerospace Forces. |

"…(probably Minnesota Vikings supporters) …" Doubtful, no Helga Hat w/ braids. |

"The Dark Destroyers" by Manley Wade Wellman
Giant Jellyfish Aliens invade Earth… |

Wow, so my initial suspicion was right. We were the ones being invaded. Thanks Huscarle! Hmm … I wonder if it's available online as public domain. Also, I can't make out who did that cover art. Dan
PS. And it looks like the same Wellman also wrote What Dreams May Come! |

The inspiration for "The Thing" perhaps? |

Jim Selzer, definitely not – THE THING in all its forms was based on the book "Who Goes There?" by John W Campbell AKA Don A Stuart, and that was published in 1927. I'm liking that alien though – the perfect example of what the 19th century biologist said "An unfamiliar combination of familiar parts". |

I read his War of the Worlds Sherlock Holmes book, it was pretty good. I can't find an ebook on this book. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

Is that cover art another Johnny Bruck piece? If so, I think I may have an undiagnosed obsession with his style. Dan |

. . . I'd want a closer look, but that mouth looks wrong on the one the Inuit is holding. And those other organisms look different again. What's with all these aliens arriving on our polar regions anyway?  is wrong with the equator, for one? :D |

Is it ever a good day for a walk in the Arctic Circle? (Not according to my friend in the Army, whose first duty station was Ft Wainwright, Alaska!) @CovertWalrus: Too many people down on the Equator, and too dang hot! |

It's hard to tell who crashed and who were the indigenous life forms. |
