Illustration for 1952 Ray Bradbury story, The Rocket Man

A stunning two-page illustration by James Bingham from the February 1952 issue of Argosy magazine, for Ray Bradbury's short story "The Rocket Man." I like the futuristic dome shaped house, with tinted panes of glass, and the mid century modern/Googie furniture and decor. The only thing I don't like about it is the kid in the tight black shorts. The illustration would look much better with him removed from it!


UPDATE: Look — artist David Grafe fixed it!
