The History of CRASH

Issue No. 9

Sinclair ZX Spectrum
Crash

Oliver's Ziggy cover was amongst the most popular he produced. It was really the first CRASH cover definitely promoting a specific game, Fantasy's Backpacker's Guide To The Universe. Here was an opportunity to use his imagination to bring to life objects, characters and weird aliens involved in a game that no-one had yet seen, all from written details offered in the prerelease description. The result is a powerful picture which, ironically, probably informed more readers of what hero Ziggy was like than anything Fantasy themselves put out.
