One of MW’s most iconic covers ever. It immediately conveys the idea of a person yearning for something better. There is so much detail here that I have always wished I could have seen the original!
The composition is unique in that the POV of the figure as well as a viewer of the picture sees the galaxy framed by not one but two structural remnants. I don’t recall any other MW painting that does this. It really serves to make the galaxy the focal point of the picture!
