First Spaceship on Venus

Handpicking a few — just a few — from Dark Roasted Blend’s latest installment of their “Retro Future: To the Stars!” series of fantastic retro space art.

These three are my favorites from this round; I find the space cowboys especially charming:

    GLORIOUS! (though the studded sleeve cuffs and bandanas are a little odd)

      Yeah, I wondered about that myself, lol. Maybe they’re magnets, so they can adhere to the spaceship in times of need?

    I read some A.E. Van Vogt way back in high school. Cool art here!

      Yeah, van Vogt is a master of science fiction; The World of Null-A was mind-blowing.
