Description: Isaac Asimov is one of the essential names in the field of science fiction, and the Foundation Trilogy is one of his most important works. In fact, in 1966 it won a Hugo Award for the best science fiction series of all time. The trilogy includes the novels Foundation, Foundation and Empire, and Second Foundation.Foundation was originally published in 1951, but the editions here are Avon’s 1966 reprinting. Oddly enough, Avon actually reprinted the third book in the trilogy, Second Foundation, first in 1964 (with a completely different cover than the one shown here). The reprintings of Foundation and Foundation and Empire didn’t happen until 1966, at which time Avon released another reprinting of Second Foundation with a cover that matched the other two.The mind-bending cover art is by Don Ivan Punchatz. Punchatz did a lot of magazine work, having done covers for Heavy Metal, Playboy, National Geographic, and TIME. He also created the cover (and logo) for the 1993 video game Doom. In 2012, GameSpy magazine called the box art for Doom the second best video game box art of all time. Punchatz was clearly an illustrator with an immense amount of talent.
