Is the artist for that painting Angus McKie?
I had thought it had been used in one of the TTA books, but on digging the books out, its not the same, but does share some similarities. (The TTA book is from '79, btw.)




TTA was famous for using images that had been around for a good few years previous, so unless it was commissioned directly for use in that issue of Omni, its kinda hard to date - well, without an artists name, etc..

I think I used to own that book... or my brother did. I really remember that picture? What's the cover if you don't mind me asking?

The book in question is Great Space Battles. Click on the linky for a look

Ha! That's the fella. We had another similar book which had schematic type things of space craft (I think) with those sort of Chris Foss pictures that was great too.

Is the artist for that painting Angus McKie?

Yes it is

The same Angus McKie who coloured Gibbons on Give Me Liberty and taught Brian Bolland how to draw on the computer? UK comics are like the Laurel Canyon music scene, aren't they?

Angus McKie has also had a few colouring gigs for Tharg over the years...

Amazing spot, Lobo!  And what a great cover.

What he said.

That's a great find and a wonderful addition to what's become a rather fascinating thread!

[Lobo Baggins]

And what a great cover.

It is, isn't it?

Although - a fierce looking woman clad entirely in armour standing in front of a large chested man wearing only some leather straps, his face contorted in fear... truly, Mars is a world of madness!  Madness, I tell 'ee!

Also, they're both facing to the left.  No one can face to the left, it's just impossible.
