Wednesday Cover: The City Outside The World


The City Outside The World is one of Lin Carter's Mars Novels, a four book cycle of  homages (or pastiches, if you prefer) of Leigh Brackett's own stories set on the Red Planet. It's also the only one in the series I don't yet own. Still, I'm featuring it here because I find this cover painting (by an artist I haven't identified as yet) quite handsome and evocative of the Interplanetary Romance genre.

The cover art was by Ken Barr, and it was one of his early covers. (His first book cover was for Roger Zelazny’s The Guns of Avalon, 1974)
