Soviet science fiction illos

Phil sez, "Dark Roasted Blend has posted a collection of illustrations from early Soviet science fiction, most by Yury Markov. Stunning artistry!" Link

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Oaaaah! These are beautiful!
When I got to Robot vs. Tiny Godzillas (no 10 down) I thought “Can’t get cooler than this”. Wrong. See no 15 down, Think about Monster, Forget Spacesuit, Die.

Awesome illustrations – are they public domain? Some would good on a shirt.

That guy in the foreground looks suspiciously like Nikolai Cherkasov, who starred in Alexander Nevsky and Ivan Groznyy.
