THRASHPUNK CROSSES, SEA MONSTERS, KLIMT, WAR PHOTOGRAPHY, '60s ANARCHISM, DC VILLAINS, & MORE!

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the third set of cover photos for the month of November, and I've decided that 5 sets monthly is the perfect number in which to avoid swamping myself with so many of these "cover photo"-themed posts.

Online finds include: the infamous and world-renowned VOID "Crosses," a spooky promo shit of McFarlane's Monsters" Sea Creature action figure, isolated and magnified artwork from Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss," a behind-the-scenes shots of American filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola on the set of "Bram Stoker's Dracula," a composite photograph on the Eastern Front, WWII, c. 1941, an explosive panel of Kalibak, son of Darkseid, displaying his awesome power, a shot of anarchist collective, Black Mask, marching to Wall Street to protest the corrupt corporate American power structure in early 1967, and a partial Bruce Timm piece from his "Big Tease" deluxe artbook.

"PHYSICALLY, HE WAS REVOLTING, BUT HE HAD A PRESENCE, A STRANGE MAGNETISM EVERYONE IN THE ROOM COULD FEEL."

PIC(S) INFO: Part 2 of 2 -- Spotlight on the complete set of promo shots for the horned, masked, disfigured and dapper Wizard of Oz 6 inch action figure from McFarlane's Monsters Series 2 "The Twisted Land of Oz," released by McFarlane Toys in September 2003.

CHAPTER OVERVIEW: "At the top of the building, the Scientist led the way through an anteroom, then a guard threw open the double doors into a massive ballroom, hung from floor to ceiling with jewels, crests and artwork. At the far end, in front of a vast tapestry, was a throne. On it sat a man dressed in shades of emerald green with some sort of a breather attachment on his face and a horned head. The portions of his skin that were visible appeared rutted and creased like dried hamburger left in the sun.

Physically, he was revolting, but he had a presence, a strange magnetism everyone in the room could feel.

He stood and stepped down gingerly, walking toward the group. Halfway there, he gestured to the Scientist, who rushed over, pulling out a massive syringe and injecting its contents into the Wizard’s chest piece.

Immediately, the Wizard straightened and walked with more of a purpose. He strode across the room to stand directly in front in Dorothy. She looked at him, cringing at his physical appearance, but strangely attracted to his formidable presence.

“You’re from the land of Earth,” he said to her in a rasping voice, ignoring the rest of her group."

"...HIS ROTTING BODY HELD TOGETHER WITH TWINE, STICKS, STRAW, AND PRAYERS..."

PIC(S) INFO: Part 2 of 2 -- Spotlight on the complete set of promo shots of the gnarled and malformed Scarecrow 6" action figure, from McFarlane's Monsters -- Series 2: "The Twisted Land of Oz," released by McFarlane Toys in September 2003.

CHARACTER OVERVIEW: "The Scarecrow, the gentleman coming to the Emerald City in search of a brain, became what he had been in a previous existence outside Oz: an Inquisitor who visited torture upon hapless victims for his government. The Scarecrow’s specialty was a barbaric form of craniectomy while the “patient” was still conscious, before finishing them with his rusty scythe, but it’s useless now, his rotting body held together with twine, sticks, straw and prayers -- doesn’t have the strength to wield it. In suitably grim irony, the contents of his skull are being liquefied by an ancient lobotomy contraption while a pair of undead crows picks at his remaining flesh."

-- "THE TWISTED LAND OF OZ, "Chapter 9: Destiny Awaits," by McFarlane Toys, c. fall 2003
