> This is the cover of the anthology Pulsar 1 edited by George Hay. It was published in Great Britain in 1978 and contains the first appearance of van Vogt's short story "Death Talk." The art is by Adrian Chesterman and depicts a scene from Van's story. Although my copy is terribly crinkled — a defect for which I humbly apologize — I've reproduced here the full wrap-around cover so you can get the full benefit of this well-done illustration.
> This is another good example of how an artist can create a solid work of art, while doing justice to the story it derives from. In this instance the artist has the flexibility of not having to constrain his art work to a single cover — he is given the front, spine, and back. Chesterman has taken this opportunity to create an exciting and clever panorama. So much so that if it had not illustrated the first story in the anthology, I would have eagerly read the whole book in one sitting just to discover the story behind the cover.
