Over the last few centuries, for instance, mankind has come up with some truly horrific ways to annihilate each other. Science fiction in particular has conjured up innumerable ghastly killing machines that are actually quite incredible in…
Previously, we had harped about the Star Wars posters created by Toronto-based artist Scott Park that cover all the vehicles in the space operatic universe. Well, this time around, quantity is matched by complexity in the nifty illustration book by Jason Fry and Kemp Remillard. As one can comprehend from the above image, the book…
