Ed Valigursky

إد فاليغورسكي

American illustrator (1926–2009) famous for needle-nosed spaceships and menacing robots. From the mid-1950s to the early 1970s he painted dozens of covers for Amazing Stories and Fantastic and more than a hundred for Ace Books, including first editions of Philip K. Dick, and later became a noted aviation and aerospace painter.

رسام أمريكي (1926–2009) اشتهر بمركباته الفضائية المدببة وروبوتاته المهددة. من منتصف الخمسينيات حتى أوائل السبعينيات رسم عشرات الأغلفة لمجلتي «أميزينغ ستوريز» و«فانتاستيك» وأكثر من مئة غلاف لدار «إيس بوكس»، منها طبعات أولى لروايات فيليب ك. ديك، ثم أصبح رسامًا بارزًا للطيران والفضاء.

ABOUT THE COLLECTION

Futures worth
remembering.

This collection grew in المستقبلية الرجعية — le rétrofuturisme, a Facebook group devoted to imagined futures, science fiction art and extraordinary worlds.

Its 154 artist and collection albums bring together 2,855 images: 2,738 from the 146 original group albums, plus new sci-fi artist albums added by the curator, preserved here with their original album titles, sourced artist descriptions and source links. Search in English or Arabic, explore each album, and keep a personal selection with the heart button.

Saved selections stay in this browser and can be exported into the local curator. Full-resolution viewing is retained; image right-click saving and dragging are disabled, but screenshots and extraction remain possible. This archive does not grant permission to publish artwork or use it on merchandise; those uses need rights checked separately.
