FROM THE ARCHIVE

Tony Roberts

توني روبرتس

British illustrator, born in 1950, who painted science fiction book covers from 1973 until the mid-1990s. His smooth, hard-edged and highly detailed paintings of spaceships, futuristic architecture and organic-mechanical forms appeared on covers for Philip K. Dick, Fritz Leiber, Frederik Pohl and others.

رسام بريطاني وُلد عام 1950، رسم أغلفة كتب الخيال العلمي منذ عام 1973 حتى منتصف التسعينيات. ظهرت لوحاته الدقيقة ذات الحواف الحادة للمركبات الفضائية والعمارة المستقبلية والأشكال الهجينة بين العضوي والآلي على أغلفة كتب فيليب ك. ديك وفريتز لايبر وفريدريك بول وغيرهم.

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.
