That's Tarl Cabot for you, amirite?

That’s every S&S book cover or Frazetta painting ever made for the most part.

Frazetta was such a ******* boss.

Looks well done but just a remake of the first one with a better-looking cast. Some of the shots involving the alien were direct call backs.

The audience knows what will happen, the cast will take 20 min or so to realize they’re in a horror movie, mass carnage will ensue with one plucky survivor and a possibly ambiguous ending.

I’ll still see it on TV I think. As long as it’s not laugh-out-loud like Prometheus!

i've been watching the og alien with my kiddo , i've never seen a movie put him to sleep before I guess ambient suspense is no match for his Minecraft-streaming attention span

His stuff was epic when I was a kid. Literally in this case. Bought this on the newsstand all those years ago:

It seems that this sold last year for 6MM but the new owner is accepting offers of 9MM plus. Had no idea Frazetta commanded such prices.

Growing up in the Britosphere, I guess our equivalent was White Dwarf and 2000AD. If I had only kept my collections of both ... $$$

he was so powerful in the illustration game that he retained the rights to the original works , as a result few come to market .

I had most of the run of Epic but sold it all in high school. I have one really close friend that still collects and drops serious coin obtaining all the formerly unobtainable stuff we couldn't afford as teens.

My brother in law is always reading these. I cringe when I see them and wonder what his daughters would think if they ever read one.
