  3. What vintage is this book? It looks more like the suits from an earlier, much better film, the Russian SF classic, Planeta Bur (Planet of Storms), 1962, released in the US as Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet. Now THOSE were some major spacesuits!

  4. PS I love vintage SF illustrations, for movies, books, models, toys, etc. That in itself is a whole subject for collection...

    1. Me too Zigg. The illustrations are often the thing that does it for me.
