TOURISTS! This is great. You could probably actually walk around Manhattan dressed like that and not get too many looks. Note that the traffic light is only red/green… no yellow.
I like the Martian-type tourists – a striking cover. Checking my copy, I see that Emsh doesn’t seem to be illustrating any particular story, it is just entitled “The 40 Credit Tour of Earth”. That issue led off with “Surface Tension” by James Blish, plus Fritz Leiber, Robert Sheckley, and the conclusion of Pohl & Kornbluth’s “Gravy Planet”. A pity you seem to have stopped putting up the contents pages too…

I’m still posting the table of contents, Tammy just sent me this cover and didn’t include anything else. It was so great I wanted to post it.
