[net.sf-lovers] QUEEN album cover

   Sorry, Don, but the album cover in question has nothing to do with
either the book or the movie. JMB, as 1/2 of Two Wild and Crazy Indexers,
will probably have the exact reference, but I recall from Freas' showcase/
autobiography, the original was
  1. Freas' first cover for ASTOUNDING
  2. Done for a Tom Godwin story (not "The Cold Equations", but the same
sort of "The universe is absolutely indifferent to us, which is as bad
as if it actively hated us" tripe)
  3. repainted by Freas at the band's request (the original had one slightly
bloody, typically-built male corpse instead of a cluster of upstanding frippie
heaks).  Apparently they invited Freas to a concert in an airplane hangar to
see them in action, and he was foolish enough to go without earplugs. . . .
