Make Room! was the basis for 1973 dystopic thriller Soylent Green). The penile candles on this mag's cover hint at the ribald sensibility that Harrison would later explore in his sci-fi sex opus, Great Balls of Fire: The History of Sex in Science Fiction Illustration (1977).______________________________________________________________
