    Great pick-up, Chris! This one has a ton of character. Though the NES game was cancelled, that triangle motif is so recognizable, very cool

    I do love the piece.  It reminds me of fun times playing the first game with my brother on NES and more for the comics I’d read in Mad Magazine, which was probably my favorite part of that publication.

    Thanks for posting!  I wondered where this ended up.  I sold my prototype 5-6 years ago when I never could strike a deal for the art with Stephen.  I offered him 7k but he never entertained my offer.  I’m glad it’s ended up in good hands. Maybe you can find the prototype sometime and make a unique pairing.  There are two known.
