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.
