That's funny, I thought the serpent on the back was a dinosaur.

I did scan the serpent before he's changed into a snake; I'll post that image tonight. It's certainly not what I expected...

These covers are so cool. Nice one to put on book cover.

Very nice - I like when the old is made new again.

its enough to make you wonder if R. Crumb didn't write the Old Testament himself...
