M.A.S.K: Fingerprint and Code Kit (1985?)

The Mobile Armored Strike Kommand: FaCK was a licenced product by Pic Toys Ltd in the UK. I don't know if it was available in other territories; there's very little information about it on the web. My info comes from having been given it at Xmas as a child sometime in the mid-1980s.

Like it says in this blog's About Page, the posts are visible to all who visit, but the content is primarily for personal use and may be of little or no interest to anyone else. That description has perhaps never been more accurate than at this moment in time. This one's for me...

Overkill Comics (Mockups)

Overkill Comics - FAKE

Is it time for some more FAKE comics? I feel it is.

The options are as numerous as there are artists/bands to choose from, but it works best when there's an associated theme or mascot, as there is with Overkill.

The skull with wings creature made its first appearance on album number three, titled Under the Influence (1988), which, incidentally, was the first Overkill album that I ever owned and is largely responsible for the love of that decade's Thrash music that I still have today.

Named Chaly, the skull-bat has been the cover star of most of their subsequent studio albums. At time of writing that's a 'holy-shit-impressive' nineteen more - and that's not counting Live stuff, EPs, or Compilations, which would add another nine or ten to the tally. 

Overkill are prolific and, with very few exceptions, are still producing albums that put their peers to shame - newcomers and old duffers alike. Yes, that absolutely includes Metallica and Megadeth. [1]

DUNE: Book Covers by Ozan Korkut

DUNE: Original Novels:

Book Covers by Ozan Korkut (2015-20)

The six images above are by artist Ozan Korkut, created for Ithaki Publications' Turkish language editions of Frank Herbert's original Dune novels. It's likely that I'll eventually find time to include the final retail versions in each book's respective Book Covers post, but I found some 'clean' ones with no text or logos, which I figured would make an interesting separate post. The images above are just a thumbnail. You can find larger versions of each one below the cut. They're not a high enough resolution for printing, but they're decent enough for a crappy Blogger web page.
