Billed Above the Title: It is a Zig-Zagged Trope example for the 9th Series cover with Flowers for Algernon and other stories published as if it was the title, then editor Robert P Mills, then the title The Best From Fantasy and Science Fiction. | |

Retro Rocket | |
| The Best From Fantasy And Science Fiction / int_c6e9e40d | comment |
Retro Rocket: The first volume's cover has a cigar-shaped spaceship flying across a cloudy alien landscape with a crescent-shaped ringed moon in the sky. The Fourth Series volume's cover (1955 Doubleday version) has a tall missile-like green spaceship with huge, but thin, fins. The spaceship is sitting upright in a barren desert with tall thin mountains around it. Both versions of the Fifth Series volume cover (Doubleday and Ace Books) has a different missile-like ship. The first cover has one that is plain brown with two sets of fins (small on top and large ones at the base), and is taking off from a desert. The second cover has one that is brown, but with green glass bulbs at the base, the two sets of fins are smaller and rounded, and has their landing struts fully engaged on the surface. It looks more like what an insectoid species would develop, encouraged by the insect-like mask in the bottom-left of the cover. The Sixth Series volume's cover (1968 Ace Books version) has a tall missile-like white spaceship with two sets of thin fins (top and base of the ship) taking off in the background while two figures fight in the foreground on a bright white sandy desert with a nighttime sky. Both versions of the ''Seventh Series'’ volume cover (Doubleday and Ace Books) have a different dart-like ships. The first cover has a white with red highlights ship in space getting repairs with a larger space station nearby giving supplies. The second cover has a conical yellow ship in the background (and three more so far they're mere smudges) and a tall white building that looks like another rocket. The Eighth Series volume's cover (1959 Doubleday version) has a tall, thin white cigar-shaped spaceship in the distance, with a squad of bubble-headed spacemen heading towards it. The Ace Books 1963 version has two slightly different silver dart-shaped spaceships in the top-left background, but they're hard to see details for. The Eleventh Series volume's later cover (1966 Ace Books version) has four tall dark-grey cigar-shaped rockets taking off from an alien background with only two small fins near the ejection port. The Twelfth Series volume's later cover (1967 Ace Books version) has a bullet-shaped ship with no fins and a light grey hull on a very busy background. | |

Shout-Out | |
