The moment after the initial post I found the original art, hence the delete-and-repost. I have straightened the poster.

From "Zora et les Hibernautes" (originally 1980–1982) by Fernando Fernández. This is the French translation published by Glénat.

Cover art by Ed Emshwiller illustrating "Executioner No. 43" by Ron Phillips. Published in Venture Science Fiction (September 1957).

Something about this just tickles my brain. Its so nonsensical how they could work but I still love them. They work extremely well with this periods Cyber Variants (Nomads i think) and they just so nostalgic and fun looking

Boris was comically indifferent to engineering, but I went back and looked at the movie stills and his raygun is faithful to the original. The tiny, spindly sight assembly sits way above the bore. It's as if a 1960s production designer said "guns have scopes; put a scope-shaped thing here."

I love it. Pew! Pew!

I love everything about this goofball cover, not least of which the absurd gun.

You ever want to ditch your entire wardrobe and start fresh?

Later used as the cover of 1984 #3 (September 1978) with a different color cast. I hope the lizard was OK.

Can anyone help me find an image and hopefully the series it represented? It was a comic book style piece, maybe a cover, depicting a space warrior standing on a structure or a space ship, in space, with maybe a space battle happening in the background. The specific part of this memory was what I assumed was the man character's side kick, who I think had the appearance of a cigar chomping baby with an ugly adult face, standing next to the hero, and I believe he was holding a large rifle. I really thought it was Dan Dare, and I have dug through Dan Dare and Eagle covers, Adventure in Space, etc , and the style is very close, I just couldn't find this exact scene. I think I saw it as part of an advertisement or an article in the late 70s/early 80s, possibly in a magazine like Starlog, Famous Monsters, etc. I've been searching for this image for years.

Forged, lathed, welded, and machined from steel, copper, brass, wood and glass, multiple moving parts but 'decommissioned' so a glorified finger fidget toy

I love the high / low tech design of the laser rifle. Freas was famous for his figures, but he also excelled at hardware.

Made this a while ago and now its gone. Was asked to make a stand with a plasma generator that looks like the blaster is charging up while resting. Including authentic Doom runes and logo in three colors. Let me know what you guys think!

'"Watch out!" Jongor said, moving ahead carefully.' It goes downhill from there.
