> [@psiekier](#): > > I was trying to think if there were any characters with wings in any of the _Starstruck_ books that Kaluta illustrated, but I’m coming up empty. Pygar, the blind angel from _Barbarella_, keeps popping back into my mind, but there was nothing mechanical about him - not even in any of the far-out stylized posters for the movie. Imagine Pygar with dark hair, torn shoulder with metal joint and we’ve got it! ---

And so a little nostalgic dream dies an unlamented death. Sigh. ---

> [@Earl\_Snake-Hips\_Tucker](#): > > Maybe Al Traina? You might be closer than you know. As I recall, these sort of vaguely sf-y, fantasy-y, heroic-y or bigtits-y posters were turned out by the buttload in the 1970s, by obviously competent but no-name artists. These were the kind you found on the back walls of t-shirt, poster and head shops and given away at carnivals and fairs. ---
