Description

In response to my last image, I am breaking the chain to present something found at a car boot sale in Lesser Nether-Bottom, not far from the British Rocket Group's engine-testing site. Yes, it's THAT book by the veritable Arthur J Crudworthy, hero of Space Science Digest. Wonder if it's a good book? Thanks for looking. Iain Brain by 3DXtras Rocket by Duo Planet map by NASA

Alex - erm.... nope. I was inspired by British pulp SF novels of the 50s and early 60s.

Brilliant! The aging on the book works so well too, it really gives it an authentic car-boot look.

Love it! It reminds me of the American low-budget publisher Curtis Books, whose art director had no qualms about using as cover art photomontages employing GI Joe astronaut dolls and any other toys he had lying around. I think you've inspired me to try a faux-Paul Lehr treatment of this cover.....

Is this the one that parallels "War Of The Worlds" in that the stupidity of those it absorbs eventually kill it? :D I love this monster. It's so cute!

I LOVE it....both the execution, the content and the 'FLAVOR' of the artwork...I'd love to see the 'book', let alone a 'movie', done in the 'retro-style' of the late 50's....like 'Alien Tresspass'...(IF you've not seen that film, I HIGHLY recommend it!!)...
