Writer Michael Moorcock and artist Jim Cawthorn created this two-page 1971 comic portraying the rock band Hawkwind as musical superheroes.
“Today’s younger generation will never know a time period in which Captain America, Hulk and Spider-Man weren’t big screen icons with accompanying cartoons, action figures, and video games. However in the early 1970s, these and other classic comic book characters came to life outside of their pop art medium only through a series of analog vinyl releases. Unleashed by Power Records, the vibrant cover artwork promised ‘The action comes alive as you read!!’”
This rarely seen Ralph McQuarrie painting was created to promote the “Sounds of Space” concert in 1978. The concert featured music from Star Wars, The Planets, Flash Gordon, Close Encounters and 2001: A Space Odyssey. The concert was only held at 3 locations: San Jose Center for the Performing Arts, Marin Civic Auditorium, and the Berkeley Community Theater.
