Initium Inspiration

That's fairly random and obscure.

It looks like the All Hail The Black Market devil skull thing.

Yes Sean, it is exactly that. Random work-break, surfing to learn more about something that popped into my head (literally), learning... trivia thing. I'm guessing you know what the title means? Jared can you link me to said image? I don't find it at said blog.

Below is a thing to put in your computer thing to see a T-shirt shot of it. http://www.allhailtheblackmarket.com/market/images/4048758576_48fbc92dc5_b.jpg

On further investigation I think it is the Danzig devil thing. Pretty hard to make a devil skull not look kind of like that.

Looks like my link thing got cut off some how.

Yes. The 1983 comic image was first (stolen -I learned today- and) used on Danzig's post-Misfits band Samhain's 1984 debut album Initium. And apparently appropriated by bicycle hipsters 25 years later. I'm not much of a fan of his current, self-titled work honestly but the first two groups are complete classics. I can still remember standing in the downtown Northern Lights holding November and Legacy in my hands thinking what the fuck kind of music is this?

How Cool John. I love how this one image has transcended so much time.

Because Glenn drew all of their cover art of course...
