Awesome throwback to the sci-fi golden age with all those analog switches and levers. Freas' vision puts plenty of tension and intrigue on a paperback cover.
Looks weirdly like L. Ron Hubbard, though with a stronger jaw.
I can see it! Per NNDB:
"Frank Kelly Freas had an unclear relationship with the Church of Scientology. He worked with Bridge Publications and headed up their "Illustrators of the Future" program, but does not appear to have been a full adherent of their dogma. While after his death a memorial was held at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Center in Hollywood, his widow states that Freas was not a Scientologist."
Wonderful cover from a PKD classic!
Another nice Freas - and for a Philip K. Dick book, too!
PS - I love it, it is well outside my usual sphere of collecting but I have to admit I have investigated getting a Philip K Dick cover of my own on more than one occasion.
Excellent Feas, congrats!
Thanks John!
I meant Freas, but Feas is good to!
