Just thought I'd start a thread on this. The publication history of this book is fascinating.

Found a podcast that interviews Ray Bradbury and artist Robert Watson

He painted the art for the cover of the second edition of MC in 1953.

From 1995, Sedge Thomson's West Coast Live, the podcast(21 min.) is located here:

You may need to scroll down a bit to spot it. Also, on this page if you scroll down a bit you'll find a comment by Bradbury about the painting.
