Gray Morrow was one of those classy-as-fuck illustrators moving seamlessly from commercial illustration to comics and graphic novels. I first saw his work in Heavy Metal in the late 70s/early 80s doing Orion and an excerpt from The Illustrated Roger Zelazny before I saw him in regular comics. Later I enjoyed his long run on the Tarzan Sunday comic strip.
In 1972, he did this cover for The Monster Times which he later published as a poster.
Colour by me.
The Monster Times No. 2 from February 1972.
Centre-spread poster.
Morrow’s poster version from 1973.
Cleaned up for production with some minor edits to accurise the image.
