The History of CRASH

Issue No. 46

Sinclair ZX Spectrum
Crash

The CRASH History created echoes everywhere. Issue 1's cover had seen its latter-day counterpart in October, and now in November the King Kong cover of Issue 2 rebounded in the illustration for Activision's Rampage, previewed that month (and indeed the painting from Issue 2 was used in the competition inside). The vision of gigantic destruction was reminiscent of the covers for the Fleetway War Picture Library series that Oliver used to paint in the Seventies. Note how the angle of the skyscraper leads the eye straight to the announcement of the 3-D section, just as intended.
