Barlows Guide to Extra-Terrestrials



Got this awesome book from a market over the weekend. Its was first published in 1980 and includes over 90 extra-terrestrials!!!



Each being comes with information and even diagrams, there is even a fold out comparative size chart!!! Such an awesome book!!!



All artwork was done by Wayne D. Barlowe at the young age of 20!!! I am inspired.

The Wizard



I can still remember seeing this advert for the first time, the Powerglove looked so futuristic, the idea was so ambitious for back then, awesome stuff.



I remember watching The Wizard (1989) as a child, the story is about a young kids running away to win a video game championship. In this scene the kids rock up to Lucas house, two children bring him his Powerglove in a steel briefcase, they help strap it on and discreetly plug it in. He then uses it to complete a race 'Rad Racer' coming first, was pretty cool as a child.
