Fika och lite mer shopping, och så faktiskt ... Mello!

En trivsam dag i Malmö, med underhållande cheerleading bland annat duktiga barnbarnet. Fika på ett av favoritställena på Triangeln tillsammans med familjen. Och så ytterligare shopping för påfyllning av garderoben hos Beyond Retro och Stadsmissionens second hand.Kvällen hemma avrundades – faktiskt – med Mellofinalen! Ja, ni läste rätt. VI har faktiskt följt Mellofinalen, och vi tycker samma idag…

Black Mirror and retro sci-fi paperback cover art

Someone on the Black Mirror team really knows their late-60s sci-fi paperbacks! Spoilers for Season 6 ep "Beyond the Sea." 

This paperback is a 1967 edition of Ray Bradbury's 'The Illustrated Man,' with a top-tier Dean Ellis cover.

Ellis was a great paperback artist: He balanced one central image with intricate details, making covers simple yet engaging. Ellis covers don't usually have this much ennui, which makes this one a particularly good pick for the episode, about an astronaut who also feels alone.

The other main paperback featured in the episode is a 1968 edition of 'The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress,' by Robert A. Heinlein, with a cover by Paul Lehr.

Lehr is an icon of 60s/70s covers, so he's a great artist to include. This particular cover has one of his signature tropes - A crowd of tiny figures gathering around a single object, in this case a moon base.

That said, that particular Lehr cover looks more similar to the style of Richard Powers (a surreal 50s artist who influenced Lehr) than is typical for Lehr. Here are a few other 1968 Lehr covers that I think represent him better, with more shadows and monochrome.

But here's what blows my mind: We never see the cover to one paperback spine in this scene. It's this 1967 Richard Powers cover, with the yellow spine.

It seems to show a man enviously watching a woman from behind a screen - incredibly on-the-nose symbolism for this episode.

I wonder if the prop person for the show came up with multiple options and the Powers cover lost out to the Lehr one. Either way, it's an amazing Easter egg.
