News of the Worls - Queen, 1977 - Album Sleeve

 

 

 

 

 

 I  start a fantastic " catégorie " here. I'll talk about Album Sleeves because they all tell us something about a specific album. 

 

 

Please, read my introduction to know more about me.

 

 

if you know Rock, you certainly know Queen and especially the News of the World  album, well known due to the huge powerful " We Will Rock You " and the great famous " We are the Champions ".

 

But do you know where does the pic come from ? 

 

 

 

 

 


FRANK   KELLY  FREAS

 

 



 

This man was a sci-fi illustrator in the 50's. 

Taylor, the Queen drummer, noticed  on Astounding Science Fiction, the Gulf Betweenof science-fi novels a pic - THE pic !  A big steel robot down on his knees with in his hand a dead or injured man.

He then asked the illustrator if it was possible to work for the album sleeve. Of course, Frank agreed and only shifted the man with the whole band.

 

Frank Kelly Freas worked all his life on science-fi illustration and even with the NASA.
