Asimov was really out there in the 50s giving the illusion of free choice to his readers by writing gay people solving mysteries in space (for grown-ups) and gay people solving mysteries in space (for kids)

It's fascinating how the appreciation of a work can change over time, especially when taking into consideration the historical context and shifts in our own perspective.
Recently, I revisited "Lucky Starr and the Rings of Saturn," a science fiction book written by Isaac Asimov under the pseudonym Paul French. I had first read it at the age of 12, and at the time, I found the book "boring."
My 12-year-old self thought the book was too "slow." The characters acted cautiously, fearing an interstellar conflict, as the narrative is set in a backdrop of interplanetary Cold War between Earth and the inhabitants of the Sirius system. I also remember being disappointed with some scientific inaccuracies, such as the presence of oceans on Venus.
Rereading it now at 46, I apologize to Dr. Asimov for the presumptuous thoughts of the boy I once was. He wrote this work in the 40s/50s, without the knowledge that space probes sent in the subsequent years would reveal about the nature of the solar system.
Moreover, knowing that the book was written in the context of the Cold War between the USA and the Soviet Union, I've come to appreciate the master's storytelling much better.
As a tribute to a reading that brought me much joy, I decided to create this humble cover art. I hope Isaac Asimov's fans enjoy it, as I had a great time making it.

I was 1 of 40 people drawn to watch the premiere of Let It Be here in Brazil, an event organized by Disney+ and the Brazilian fan club Revolution. I can't wait to be able to whisper to you all what to expect on May 8th. 🤭
