I like the juxtaposition of advanced spaceships and a painted traffic sign that has to be manually flipped to avoid accidents. Not to mention the minimally clad traffic officer who voids her own efforts.

Obviously the inspiration for the Star Wars "probe droid", eh?

Lucas took concepts from a ton of people.....However, noticing the 7 segment display -- late 70's, mid '80s - - this   cover may been influenced from his movies.

plus 'personal robots' is an 1980's term..I was reading 'Robotics Age' magazines and they coined that term.....Had like a 6 year run.

I could look at these covers for hours....'Conan's Pizza, a restaurant here in Tx, decks their walls with Frazzetta artwork and pulp novel covers.

I could probably gaze at those covers for hours too, as well as the older artwork on robot and space toy box covers and sci-to movie posters. Very cool stuff.

I don't think we've featured this character before

Brick Bradford.

There was also a long running cliff hanger/ Flash Gordon type serial from the 40s50s ? I used to watch in our Saturday morning cinema when I was a kid.
