i30.photobucket.com/albums/c341/horrorinmyhead/invisible.jpgInvisible Men, edited by Basil Davenport (ghosted by Allen Degraeff?), Ballantine, 1960 Cover art: Richard Powers The Weissenbroch Spectacles by L. Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt The Shadow and the Flash by Jack London The New Accelerator by H. G. Wells Invisible Boy by Ray Bradbury The Invisible Prisoner by Maurice LeBlanc Love in the Dark by H. L. Gold What Was It by Fitz-James O'Brien The Invisible Dove Dancer of Strathpheen Island by John Collier The Vanishing American by Charles Beaumont Shottle Bop by Theodore Sturgeon The Invisible Man Murder Case by Henry Slesar A Ballantine original featuring eleven "provocative stories of the weird and humorous delights of invisibility". Noticeably less provocative was the cover of Ballantine's 1966 2nd printing - same Richard Powers cover painting but what happened to the naked woman?

Now you point it out, that's absolutely outrageous! I think we can safely assume that the naked woman is in the painting because she's supposed to be, so I wonder how Powers took to his art being tampered with? They might as well have removed all the corpse-like creatures from his other stuff if they were worried about giving "offence"!

Don't have a copy of the second edition, but here's a cover scan of the original and Powers cover before ... modification.
