Being a heavy rock fan I couldn't help noticing the box art on this modern role playing game, Dungeon Crawl Classics #94: Neon Knights by Goodman Games.
Imitation is the highest form of flattery and I suppose recreating on of the most important heavy rock albums' cover art is exceptionally flattering. Its obvious that Neon Knights has lifted the outstretched demon arms from Black Sabbath's famous Sabbath Bloody Sabbath cover created by famous artist Drew Struzan [who went on to do Star Wars posters]; you can read more about Drew on Decibel]
Getting even more from Neon Knights here are related images from its parent game, Dungeon Crawl Classics.
The rear picture is a gem. I love this wild warrior with his stripy heavy metal flares extra tight around the loins! Eat your heart out Ozzy!
The contents page rings a bell. That monochrome drawing style says Prince Valiant or similar. I like it.
The Wizard page has similar black and white artwork, signed by Peter Mullen, I've seen this type of side art before, little panels of sword and sorcery. Maybe on White Dwarf?
What do you think?
