Here are the covers of the second year of publication, 1962, all by Johnny Bruck.
Nice! I'm reading Perry Rhodan since 1979, so I missed these classic covers the first time. Meanwhile, I have read them all (2600+ issues). Great stuff. Unfortunately, the english version had not such a long duration, Forry Ackermans paperbacks (ACE Books) reached only no. 118.
