Isaac Ji KuoInteresting!
illustration by Franz Altschuler for Ray Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder" which was featured in the June 1956 edition of Playboy. I'll have to look up Mr. Altschuler, I like his style.
I of course instantly recognized "A Sound of Thunder". It has been in a zillion magazines, and *all* of them have illos containing
[1] a magic levitating walk way
[2] a T-rex
@nyrath The specific version of "A Sound of Thunder" I first experienced was from the radio adaption in Bradbury 13 in 1983.
But I wasn't satisfied with the Bradbury 13 cover art, so I went with a random illustration of that story (the one which featured time travel).
The levitating metal walk way, of course, is the feature which positively identifies which story the illustration is about.
@isaackuo double-positive identification if there is a levitating walk way AND a stepped-on butterfly in the illustration
I remember seeing an illo featuring a butterfly in a footprint inset in the lower right corner
@nyrath By my time, some illustrations were only of the smashed butterfly.
Seems like a pretty insignificant detail of the story, though. I mean, it's pretty implausible for the result of a POTUS election going the other way could be THAT bad, could it? What a quaint and utterly irrelevant fantastical thought.
