How at least three pages from Adrian Edmondson’s 1986 book “How to be a complete bastard” somehow related to the work of HR Giger, and how Giger appears to have creatively responded! https://t.co/xtE5m4ig5E
So the Silo in my opinion is a convergence of a number of different things despite how seemingly obvious it must seem to many that it must just be based upon a human breast and nothing more. I don’t know how many other things there might be to uncover about. we’ll see.
Alien: Egg Silo exterior (work 378) for Alien (1978) by HR Giger references photo of Barbie's tent ( as seen in the 1978 Barbie catalogue) by Mattel?

Also Alien: Egg Silo exterior (work 378) (1978) by HR Giger references Rowenta advert (1974) and the biomechanised humpty dumpty from Passage Temple Entrance ( work 262) (1976) ? https://t.co/HoPDKy8ZCW
I’d just like to say that I’m confused as anyone about the Alien: Earth series, especially with the idea that they still can’t travel faster than light.
so it’s assumed that Giger somehow saw the drawing back in 1988 of the anti-life equation as alien Queen with aliens that wouldn’t be published until 1990.
Panel showing the Alien Queen and warriors from Alien vs Predator #1 (published June 1990) references panel showing the character Darkseid holding a mother box, working out the Anti-Life equation from Saga of the Swamp Thing Vol 2 #62 (Published 1987) https://t.co/iqkJLntQ9t
@bleachboy79 I did watch that anime series. It was very interesting in general. There were some very interesting things happening back then that made Anime splendid.
What I’ll reveal basically is that Cameron looked as if he just couldn’t wait to get hold of Giger’s Poltergeist 2 sketches, perhaps even before Poltergeist 2 came out in the cinema, when he was designing his final version of the Alien Queen
So this is an exploration of CT Thorne’s alien queen concept sketch for Aliens , looking at how it might have referenced a Giger landscape for Alien via a Giger sketch for Poltergeist 2. https://t.co/lHeRDEBX1v
