Although I’m a great fan of the Covered Project, I didn’t care much for the way James Newell re-engineered Jacques Tardi’s classic cover to Métal Hurlant # 9, pictured above.  Those who know me, will know why…

    Because it’s the rocket from Destination Moon/Explorers on the Moon?

    indeed, well spotted. back then, Tardi was one of the angry young gods of the nouvelle bd mouvement (a suivre, métal, etc).

    fair enough, nothing i could have done could have came anywhere near the beauty of this cover, so i produced something very different in style to the original, but thank you for your honesty and comment.
