Love the subversive cover art of this 1955 issue of the Worlds of IF science fiction magazine, featuring art by Kelly Freas. It could have easily made the cover of Métal Hurlant, a.k.a Heavy Metal, back in the days of its outrageous 70s era ⚡️

Worlds of IF has just been relaunched, check it out: https://worldsofifmagazine.com/

For #InternationalTalkLikeAPirateDay , one of my fave pirate images: the cover for Murray Leinster's space pirate tale in Astounding Science Fiction, artwork by Kelly Freas. I especially love the slide-rule in his mouth instead of a knife!
