That funny moment when you wonder if David Trampier's cover illustration of a party wandering through a fungus garden (with characters later added by DCS) was visually inspired by this sequence in the 1959 film "Journey to the Center of the Earth".

    So is that why that illustration was by "DIS & DAT"? I had guessed it was penciled by DAT and inked by DIS...

    ...except there's more going on there than just adding the alternate party and adding background, right? It's like DCS had a copy of the original under some tracing paper and did a complete re-drawing, modifying elements and adding new things whole-cloth as he went along.

    I didn't appreciate Tramp's work when I was young. But as an adult I love every single piece of it.
