Retro sci-fi poster featuring a silver robot on an orange alien landscape with a red UFO.
A vintage-style sci-fi poster showing a retro robot marching across an orange Martian-like terrain, with domed buildings and a red UFO overhead. The bold, red typography of "The Runaway Robot" evokes mid-century space-age design, creating a playful, adventurous mood suitable for collectors and fans of classic robot art.

My first science fiction novel was "The Runaway Robot" by Cester Del Ray, a 1965 Scholastic paperback. I have my original copy; unfortunately, it's missing the last several pages. After decades of searching, I found a hardcopy edition at a book fair. Yay, me!
