I’ve never had a very high opinion of Never say die, but this is a really neat piece of Sabbath's past. The illustrations look like they were drawn by Art Crumb.

Not Metal, I know, but similar style of artwork.

The mans name is R. Crumb as in Robert not Art. I am very familiar with his work .This is in his style but by a different artist. R Crumb is a very seminal figure in the world of underground comics.He is responsible for the groundbreaking Fritz the Cat and the even more famous "Keep on Truckin" image from the early '70's. As far as Sabbath goes the first eight albums are beyond reproach

R. Crumb, that's right. Thanks for the correction. My dad is an old Bay Area hippie who's roughly 15 years older than you, so I've definitely become familiar with the kind of art and music his age group (especially here on the SF peninsula) is typically associated with. I know all about Fritz the Cat and Keep on truckin'. For me it's Sabbath's first six, but I respect your opinion.
