At io9 a brief look at some of the best science fiction covers ever. Only thing is, most of their choices suck! Brain Wave? Is that a sea monster or a monkey? My own favorites- all of Michael Whelan's covers for The Martian Tales of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and The Godwhale, by Unknown Artist. Among others.
And BAT Booshka makes me want to go to Russia! Or maybe Gothamgrad.
