laodan rated 20 months ago- Science fiction magazine covers in SFcovers.net
Astounding/Analog has attracted most of the top SF cover artists over the years, as one would expect of the magazine that for long had the highest circulation of any SF title. Like Fantasy & Science Fiction, however, most of the covers were done by a relatively small band of favoured artists - certainly until the 1970s, though it has distributed its favours more widely in recent years. By far its most prolific artist was Frank Kelly Freas, whose output for ASF spanned nearly 50 years. His first cover appeared on the October 1953 issue, his last on February 2003 and he did 126 in all. This means that he did more than 20% of all the covers over those five decades, and nearly a third of them through his most productive period in the 50s, 60s and 70s.

Great archive. Interesting to see the evolution in cover designs over the last 75 years. Strangely not so huge a change after all... except for the horrible bar-code in 2004.
