The artwork is interesting. The Invaders; Alien Missile Threat, was published by Whitman in 1967. I doubt this is for a dustjacket. I only have a few Whitman hardbacks, but these all have glossy printed covers glued directly to the heavy card covers, with no separate dust jackets, unless these are missing. Some have a painted cover, other use a photograph. Whitman did a lot of TV tie-in books in the 1960s.
The artwork is larger than the finished cover. The lower right hand corner has '50%' written on it, I assume the amount by which the image is to be reduced. There are also lines at the edges showing how it is to be cropped. The book sitting on the artwork is likely for comparison between the original artwork, and the final version as it appeared on the actual book, and to show the difference in size.
Don't know about the artwork Woodsy, but why is David Vincent dressed as if he's about to go foxhunting with hounds in the English countryside ?

DeleteLike it Woodsy, good one.

ReplyDeleteInteresting Paul. Looks like a book drawn on the left side.
