Is that Alan Tudyk?
No, that story was written in '67 and all major publications of it were well before Tudyk was famous
This is actually the art from the 1995 game. Still two years before Tudyk's screen debut, though.
Edit: More specifically, this is the art from the GoG/Steam re-release, but it's modified directly from the original boxart.
Edit2: Also, apparently, that's Harlan Ellison's face. TIL.
Firefly 🤌
His weakest role.
All these years later, how do people still think that stinkbomb had good writing?
I never claimed that it was well written.
However, I enjoyed it then, and I enjoy it now.
Fair enough, then. It's perfectly fine to enjoy things, I'm just burned out from years of Firefly fans acting like it was the best thing to ever grace television... which it is not.
So you have choosen internet suicide...
At the time, before Joss Whedons writing style was in all the marvel movies and copied elsewhere, it was super fresh and was one of the best things around.
Not trying to convince you, just putting it in context, at least for me
