Description

I picked this piece up at OAX and completed one of my convention goals by picking up a painted cover.

I had been thinking of getting a piece from the Rohrwild Collection in the past and had reached out to Markus with interest due to how beautiful the pieces were. However, I was unable to complete the purchase due to a number of factors at the time.

Luckily, with the Rohrwild Collection being on display at OAX, a second opportunity presented itself. There was a booth for the collection with a number of amazing pieces for purchase. This piece spoke to me due to my love of bubble helmet sci-fi and my love of Alfred Kelsner artwork. An amazing artist that had other pieces on display in the galleries at OAX.

I am not very familiar with the Perry Rhodan Story, but from what I have seen of the covers, I am sure I would be quite a fan. I love space sci-fi, and this piece perfectly checked all the boxes for me.

It was a pleasure to meet Markus in person at the convention and talk Sci-Fi artwork. I was given a brief introduction to the story and introduced to many other covers from the series. The ones that caught my attention included a character named Pucky. A mouse beaver that gave me Rocket Raccoon vibes, which of course made me feel at home. Maybe a future pick up if I come across the right piece.

Perry Rhodan #1857 has a publication date of March 27, 1997, and is noted as Acrylic on illustration paper.
