Origins and History
The pulp magazines, which were a popular source of Science fiction stories in the early 20th century, helped to establish the genre as a cultural phenomenon. H.G. Wells and Jules Verne were two influential writers who contributed to the development of Science fiction during this period, inspiring artists to create their own interpretations of futuristic worlds and technologies. The 1960s and 1970s saw an increase in experimental Science fiction art that challenged traditional notions of form and composition, paving the way for the vibrant and exciting field of Science fiction art that exists today.
