Designer and Illustrator Ward Jenkins came across Peter P. Plasencia's illustrations for a 1964 book called Jules Verne: The Man Who Invented the Future by Franz Born. He writes:
A great book, with even greater illustrations by Peter P. Plasencia, who, as you may recall, illustrated the wonderful Space Alphabet book. I love seeing how Peter utilized the gouache to create various depths of field by the use of the subtle shades of grey. All the while, flattening the space within the composition. Superb work. Love it.
