Description

Mars Attack is one of those super dumb movies (based on a trading card series) that I just loved. Tim Burton really made it fun and ultimately, even though I never read this series -I loved the design of the martians ever since seeing the film. Tom Jones and some of the other Vegas stars also made that movie memorable.

To have one of my all time favorite artists draw this cover, was a fun surprise when I came across it and really is what attracted me to it. Nick loves to put in details and this one is just a real full house.

As always, thanks for checking out my gallery!

Wow! What a fabulous "Mars Attacks Classics" cover! Nick Bradshaw was the perfect artist to draw this, given his almost obsessive attention to detail. Love the way Nick drew the Martians, detailing not only the many folds of their exposed brains, but also the mechancial details of their high tech spacesuits! So much to love here--The cool weaponry that the Martians are using as they attack humanity, the creepy cool giant insects looming behind the Martian soldiers, the innumerable flying saucers firing laser beams down on the Earth! It's just a smorgasbord of cool details wherever one looks. Awesome pick-up. congats!

"Check out the big brain on, Brett!" - He's the one on the far right.

I'm just a green Martian from outer space
You can see that the trip has left me tired and drained
So why don't you be a pal
And bring me some brains?

MON DIEU!!  This is -fantastic-, Duke, and a -PERFECT- Halloween post!!  Has there ever been a character design more tailor-made for Nick Bradshaw than the Mars Attacks Martians?!?  That's a negatory!  I think this is (by far) the -funnest- Nick Bradshaw cover I have ever seen.  He is obviously fully invested and firing on all cylinders here, packing this thing full (and I mean FULL) of sass, attitude, and ridiculous piles of detail.  The hideously violent carnage, the sadistic glee of the Martians (I'm not sure if my favorite is the one to the immediate right of the central Martian, closing one eye to line up the perfect shot, or the one  flying the saucer in the upper left corner, with its "ho-hum, must be a Tuesday" expression)... this is a perfect representation of everything that is right -AND- wrong with Mars Attacks (if you take my meaning :) ).  This one gets to eat off the Van Buren China.  I think the best compliment I can offer is, "AGGG, NACK, AGGG, NAGGG, ACKKK!".  SO cool - huge congrats, Duke (and happy halloween)!

Damn that's cool! Killer cover with insane level of detail - not surprising for Bradshaw. congrats! And I'm with you on the movie, still really enjoy it to this day but myself have not consumed much other media (comics, books, etc.). I've played a little Mars Attacks on pinball machines (the Bally/Midway table released in the 90s) and digital virtual pinball versions of the game but that's about it!

Agreed.  Mars Attacks always makes for a fun visual regardless of the format or medium.  Nick really nails the campy fun spirit of the movie and series here.  Great cover!

I've never seen this cover before. Really cool to see Nick's take on the martians, plus all the great details he added to this piece. Very nice cover.

Anyone who ever held Groo
Would tell you the way I'm feeling
Anyone who ever watched with Duke
Would try to tell you what I feel inside
The movie thing as cover wanted
Got the feeling that you attacking
The only art Duke ever thought about
Wait a minute, can't Duke see that I

Want Bradshaw from the cards
Straight into your Mars, I
I feel Duke, I hope you comprehend

 

The Martians who tried to hurt you
He's explaining the way I'm feeling
For all the jealousy towards you
Great Nicholson’s why I'm trying to buy
As Bradshaw classics you taught me
It sends the cover into clearer dimensions
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay a minute, can't you see Ack I

Want Bradshaw from the Mars
Brains into your jars, I
I feel you, I hope Groo comprehends

Wow, oddly enough, I actually like Mars Attacks more in comics than I do in film, and covers like this are why, congrats!

Amazing graphic goodness.  It's mind-boggling to think how one can conceive of where to orient all that's going on and then illustrate the depth of it.  Very cool how people are literally melting.  Great piece!!

Each time I see a gorgeous piece like this I ask myself why I don't have any Bradshaw in my collection. He is so good! Congrats - this is a stunner!

Not sure how I missed this post, but what a spectacularly illustrated piece. The attention to detail is incredible and yet, because Bradshaw understands line weights to convey depth, everything appears crystal clear as opposed to cluttered. Congrats!

A nice range of line techniques - solid blocks for the gleam of metal, delicate explosion effects, and softer edges for backgrounds to make the action stand out. Nicely executed!
