256 short format pp. including titles, indica etc, end pp. advertising

despite using the title adopted by the rupert hart-davis 1951 uk first h/cvr edition, "the silver locusts", all the corgi editions follow the doubleday 1950 first edition hardcover, "the martian chronicles"'s contents, through the 1975 printing - which is possibly - quite probably - the last transworld publishers ltd. printing.


all panther / granada / grafton editions from the first (1977) on the isbn 0-586-04362-4, whether they bear the title, ''the silver locusts'' (1977) or ''the martian chronicles'' (1985, 1987, 1993), as do flamingo/ harpercollinspublishers p/bs on 0-00647923-5 (1995, at least four printings), follow the rupert hart-davis uk h/cvr contents;
i suspect, but do not know, that printings of the voyager / harpercollinspublishers p/b on 0-00711962-3 (12/2001) and harper voyager p/b on 978-0-00647923-9 (2008, at least 16 printings) do likewise.

 corgi books imprint 1969 (indicated fourth, but prob'ly fifth printing)
silver coloured background uniform cover design printing, bearing sbn

cover art by bruce pennington
cover price 4s. (20p), 50c south africa, 65c australia, 65c new zealand
192pp. including titles, indica, table-of-contents etc, end pp. advertising
indica publishing history omits 1965 reprinting


the next corgi books printing in 1972 is probably near-identical, but i've no access to any record of its cover design, cover art, nor cover price(s).
refer to indica publishing history listing of reissues and reprintings to see which is held.

the printing after that is the first bearing the ''corgi sf collector's library'' series uniform design cover.
