Outstanding artwork and beautifully ugly. Haven't seen the Movie proper yet but there is some Hungarian version of the entire Alien Covenant Movie on YouTube somewhere. It's a bit too dark to see what's going on, but you get the general gist of the Movie.

Great stuff - not the first ex-of-this-parish to work on an Alien movie.

A very talented artist, shame we didn't see more of his work for the House of Tharg.

Just had a flashback there of (I think) a series of Star-Scans that ran in the Meg, called 'World of Bliss'.
Anyone recall that or have I lost the plot?
Nothing on the usually dependable Barney.

Rings a bell, can't remember what the starscans were actually of though.  The Clown was... interesting - would probably have found a better fit in some of the other comics around in that era (Deadline, Meltdown, Strip, Toxic!, Revolver, possibly not Crisis).

World of Bliss, if I recall correctly, were pin up's of A MC1 family, with a little biography on each picture.
