Description

Recently picked up this very interesting Virgil Finlay which was done in three colors instead of just black & white. It also looks like something out of a Rod Serling Twilight Zone episode. It was actually the cover of a Doubleday Science Fiction Book Club flyer which was known as Things to Come. This issue was published in October - November 1967 and illustrated a scene from Element 79 by author Fred Hoyle.

Interesting he did these in two colors Ialways figured the color was added later in the separation process during printing
