The Josan Gonzalez “Deathburger” images on the article could be lifted directly the Heavy Metal movie. And Gonzalez did artwork for the Heavy Metal magazine.

When Musk launched a Tesla into space, there was a lot of speculation that he was inspired by the opening scene in the Heavy Metal film [0] [1].

This film was Ivan Reitman before he did Ghostbusters and same year he did Stripes, and became really famous. A film like this could never be made today; there are way too many unpolitically correct scenes. Just don't bother with "Heavy Metal 2000", the 2nd film that came out 20 years later -- it was not good at all and had no involvement from the original creators as I understand.

There's a striking similarity between Josan Gonzalez's work and that of Geof Darrow[1] who was famous for his 1990'ish collaboration with Frank Miller on Hard Boiled[2].

Some samples of Darrow's work: [3] - [8]

Gonzalez also seems to have a bit of a Moebius vibe.

Thanks for this. I did not know about Geof Darrow.
