While looking through some Frank Herbert (author of the Dune series) books at the used book store the other day I stumbled across something startling. When I picked up deimos_jr at school I handed him the book and saw him do this in the seat behind me... I guess he's been posting too much because he actually made that face several times in a row, just as he does in his posts!
The artists name is Paul Youll. We did a little research and I've included the link to a larger image of the cover art and his primary website. I was tempted to contact him via his site to see if he had an LJ80 (deimos_jr's guidance) and has ever visited LJ10.com.
now thats cool, has anyone contacted the artist yet to know if he does have an lj.
I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them. "john wayne 1976"
His contact info is on his website. I thought about sending him an email but haven't yet.
This is the 2004 reprint of the book. Deimos_jr saw it on ebay and half.com for a few bucks; it can probably still be found at Borders or other book stores.
I was so amazed I wanted to stare at the cover all day. When my dad picked me up from school, He said, " went to Great Propects today ( kinda like a used Walmart full of cool junk.) and your not going to believe what I found." I just assumed he was going to say a knuckle sandwhich and jab me in the gut, but he pulled out the book and sent me into aw for the rest of the day. On ebay it was ruffly $10.00 after shipping.
Yes, it is an LJ80. You can tell from the rear fenders - LJ80's had wider axles... I think the last of the LJ50's might've also (the LJ50 III) but we're gonna just say it's an LJ80.
The only difference between an ordeal and an adventure is your attitude
