WOW!

I just wish we could see a bigger picture.

---

In a Facebook conversation (yes, Facebook) I suggested that Apollo use some of the geography around my home for the background, and although I am not sure if he did or not... the background certainly looks a lot like Platte Clove here in the Catskills.

Even if just a coincidence, that's Platte Clove to me.

Seriously.....

I was JUST about to ask if that was Okamura who drew the Cover (as I didn't see any "Z" sign for Zeleznik at the bottom and since Apollo has a lot of metal in his drawings).

Guess that you answered my question for me.

Now THAT'S impressive!

I always pictured them as being a dull white or light gray in color, but seeing them in black really catches my interest. I so wish Mcfarlane toys could do a limited toys set with some of Rifts old key favorites like this cover, the Splugorth slaver barge, glitter boy, Psi-Stalker with a pack of dog boys and the list goes on, well maybe someday down the road this might happen.

If McFarlane could craft a sexy Angel of Death in all her cybernetic glory, I'd be willing to forgive him some of his past sins in the Comic World

Thanks for the compliments all!

I did a brief look-up of the Catskills and mostly saw pics of skiing, huge waterfalls, and colourful autumn trees.
None of which really worked for the layout, so I tried to come up with something that I hoped captured the same feel of the area.
So, while I never heard of Platte Clove, woohoo!! Yay Platte Clove!

I seriously doubt McFarlane and PB would EVER do anything together.

VERY nice....

It seriously looks like the lower portion of the mountain pass (Platte Clove is a mountain pass), which has many small waterfalls, huge boulders, and a creek running through it.

Example 1, Example 2, Example 3. Granted, none of those pictures show the part I am thinking of... I guess no one has been dumb enough to clamber down the slippery rocks and take a picture in the middle of the creek at that point in the Clove...

It'll be a great cover for your book Josh. I'm looking forward to seeing it in our hands.
