A classic cover that's a little different with no people in the scene.   I always thought it was a wonderful take on what Berkey does.  Congrats

Boris puts a lot of muscle behind these sleek spacecraft designs that resemble yachts and race boats with rocket propulsion!  The special effects fo stars, clouds, and nebulus gasses bring this space fantasy to life.

Right, you'd think two ships had been launched into space from a marina. Very cool.
