What do I mean when I say that the cover of The Solar Invasion — which I stumbled across by chance this morning at a local shop that sells used books (and purchased to scan for this site) — is “obscure”?

It’s easy to overlook, but if you turn to page 166 in Legacy: Selected Drawings & Paintings by Frank Frazetta (Underwood Books, 1999), you’ll see this (sans typography):
Also, it’s one of the few paintings by Frazetta that includes a robot. In fact, it might be the only Frazetta painting of a robot, but since I’m just going by memory here, I think it prudent to hedge a bit.
