Request - 'Are all Dead' cover scan needed!

BB Shockwave · Post by **BB Shockwave** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 11:42 am

I put it in here since it's G1-themed...

I want to create a T-shirt for myself that has the famous 'are all dead' Shockwave cover from the 5. issue of the old Marvel comic... trouble is, I only have low res scans of that cover. I'd scan it myself, but us countries who had Semic to publish the comics, never had that cover, issues 5. and 6. had the cover of 6.

If anyone could send me a high-res scan of that cover, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I found the best and biggest pic over here in this Seibertron thread dealing with Earl Norem and his storybook art, which is ironic because he didn't even do that cover.

It also sports a highly amusing picture of Wheelie wearing a Sharkticon tooth necklace and carrying a lightsaber.

Somehow I don't remember Wheelie having that much blue on him... at all.

That's a very charming interview

I remember those books

Way to go Earl, it was nice read his review.

His artwork is, how can I put it, warm? As in it feels deep and soft, brillant, its deff an artform lost in modern colour techniques.

Simpler times

Least as far as kids art went

Totally agree about the colours.

"Wait...the robot next to me is only a foot taller than my dad. How does he turn into an ambulance again?"

Many thanks for the link! I hope my friend can use it on the T-shirt. I'm going to the screening of the movie this friday so I hope I can wear this for the special occasion...

That Wheelie pic is from the 'Wheelie, the wild boy of Quintessa" storybook, Cliffjumper used to have the whole book on his webpage... I still have the whole thing downloaded in html with pics, if someone is interested. Art is pretty good, story is... weird. It's like the Ewoks movie with TFs, especially since it mentions Wheelie had parents

who died when his ship crashed on quintessa.

Makes me think, maybe Wheelie was supposed to have an even bigger role in the Movie, but his scenes were cut...

Thank Primus.

I always got the impression he had a huge amount of potential in terms of backstory, but since he was such a minor toy most of it was ignored and we ended up with the little runt we have now

Although he self-confessedly hates him, Furman handled Wheelie pretty well in Space Pirates.
