a few thousand science fiction covers

a few thousand science fiction covers is a flash presentation of thousands of SF magazine covers from the fifties through today, arranged chronologically from left to right, and grouped by color from top to bottom.
I should correct my post - the earliest covers I've found are from the 30s, not the 50s.

Wow, Nick Jainschigg is in there a lot! He's an awesome guy, and I wouldn't be surprised if he reads Metafilter. Nick's website links to languagehat's -- meta oddness.
I love science fiction & science fiction illustrations. As an interface this isn't that great, but it's fun to just look at random pictures.

I heartily disagree. How else would you have put so many covers in some semblance of order in such as a small space?
Kick ass. IMO.

Can't help but think there's some "magic eye" image hidden in there, but my eyeballs are already in pain. Anyone else want to give it a go?

Yeah, Nick's a great guy (and my site links to his as well—check the "Visual pleasures" part of the blogroll).

What pointless snark. It's not a double post if it was originally linked in a comment; in fact, people are frequently urged to make front-page posts of great links originally hidden away in comments. No need to apologize, jonson. You did good.
