The Voyage of the Space Beagle is a 1950 novel consisting of several short stories stitched together. It is classified as a “space opera”. Although cover art for other editions often shows various alien creatures, the “Space Beagle” was the name of the spacecraft.
Hey, it got August Derleth’s seal of approval!
I don’t mind the first one, but the rest are kind of ass.
The first one looks like it was inspired by Dune, but wtf is up with the ship in the seventh(?) pic? Are those thrusters? Blasters? WTF?
Also, I find it interesting how many aliens are apparently very large cats.
