Ellison Wonderland by Harlan Ellison, Millington

Contributed by Florian Hardwig

Ellison Wonderland is a collection of short stories by Harlan Ellison (1934–2018). First published in the United States in 1962, this is the jacket for the first UK edition, issued by Millington in 1979.

Instead of working with an illustrator, designer Lorie Epstein opted for a purely typographic approach featuring Quartermaine. She separated the thin and thick strokes of Stuart Longley’s open, dimensional unicase typeface and gave them different colors: blue and purple for the author’s name, and orange and pink for the title.

The Science Fiction Book Club mention in the bottom right corner is set in ITC Avant Garde Gothic, with its alternate e and faux small caps.
