BUILT LIKE A TANK

 

I love this old cover and its amazing prawn tank emerging from the sea.

It reminds me of an Osibisa elephant tank that Roger Dean included in his Views book, which I adored as a teenager.


Have you any animal tanks or creature machines?

  1. Could be a Zoid creation. Ive got Roger Deans book, Views and the follow up, Magnetic Storm. Lots of nice artwork for your mates Budgie in there! Have to say I love the Motown Chartbusters cover with the flying Scarab - what the connection with motown was is beyond me. I also liked the armadillo onnthe Tarkus recod covers too, by a different artist.
