The suburban interior of a torus-shaped space station, by Angus McKie. Thanks to the artwork’s owner, Dave Perry, for sharing this image with me!

For 2021, I’m doing Space Skeleton Saturday! Every Saturday, I’ll post a skeleton in a spacesuit from a retro science fiction illustration. 

First up is the GOAT: Angus McKie’s 1976 cover to ‘The Year’s Best Science Fiction No. 8,’ edited by Brian Aldiss and Harry Harrison. It’s been reused many times since, appearing in the Terran Trade Authority book Spacewreck and as the cover to a 1982 French translation of Dune. A poster artist swiped it in 1984 for the movie Def-Con 4.
