John Schoenherr - Various Works

This post is by way of a thank you to Ian Schoenherr who posted a comment to this blog identifying his father; John Schoenherr as the probable cover artist of Dell's Space Man #3.
 
I do this blog mainly just for the fun of it but if it allows us to identify and credit artists to their work then we've performed something of a service too.
 
So to celebrate the talent a little further here is something of a gallery of John's other spacemen.
1951

  1. The Telstar-DynaSoar painting is gorgeous.

    The pointy-headed spaceman appeared on the cover of Galileo issue 7 in 1978, and was later featured in Omni.

  2. Cheers for that. I'll go look it up. It looks older than 78 in style though which makes me think it was used elsewhere before then. What do you think?
