... As fan of H.R. Giger, I have been collecting his prints and corresponding with him for some time. So, when he arrived in Los Angeles for the Academy Awards, I wasted no time in contacting him. Enclosed is a photograph of him posing with his award for ALIEN. He had just been to Disneyland the day before, which explains the hat. As a fan of STARLOG, I would like to share this picture with the readers. I’m sure they would enjoy seeing this Mouseka-Giger!
