RIP

H.R. Giger is reported to have passed away, at 74, surely too soon. 

Mr Giger is best known for the Alien movie and his work on the Alien and set design.

He was featured in HM in the 80s in some movie promo and galleries, as well as a couple covers, including the December 81 with Debbie Harry in a Giger outfit.  Giger's work was at once sophisticated and twisted, and made quite an impact at the time.

(it's quite unfortunate that Lostboy's fan page has lost its search capacity, apparently the service has shut down.  makes research more difficult, waaah, poor me ... )

I came across a "Baphomet - The Tarot of the Underworld, by Akron and H.R. Giger" set at a street sale a while back.  It's a Giger Tarot card set, which is pretty cool, and a CD with some sort of dirge metal, that's pretty bad.  I'll have to look it over again.
