        Ah, but this has happened to most Classic SF authors (Bester, Dick etc.) They all moved one up on the class level.

        BABEL-17 had a particularly Star Wars-esque cover, too

        The pulp touch in that last title is a nice gesture, though.

        I grew up reading fancy-cover Delany in the 1990s. I 💙 SF, but I wouldn't have picked up the space opera shlock covers.

        IMHO as Sci Fi is more widely accepted the covers become more mainstream.

        How do you not illustrate a title like "Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders"--?!

        that book should have had the pulpiest illustration of all.
