Rust in Peace ALL-OVER PRINT.
Original Americam Megadeth T- licenced to Brockum 1991.
includes the Brockum(official printer) and Repka(Megadeth Artist) 'signatures'.
This is one killer t-shirt, i have the same picture but in a backpatch, i really don't understand why Megadeth has stopped working with Ed. Repka, he is the guy that created Vic Rattlehead, and to me he is the only guy that can draw Vic the way he is supposed to be, for example, Endgame's album cover really sucks in my opinion, and inside the booklet, the drawings where Vic
appears, (think is just one) are just not very good to say the least in my opinion, i still can't believe how Roadrunner has aproved that artwork for an album from a band that has covers like the one from piece sells & rust in peace, to name a few...
Actually, it was Mustaine who created him, the idea being hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Repka of course immortalized him. I fully agree that the last covers left A LOT to be desired, esp. Endgame looks like total crap.
Yeah, i know that, when i said that Ed. Repka was the one that created Vic, i meant to say the full boby version of Vic, instead of only the head with the scythes like that old backdrop in the ealy beginning of the band, i have some photos of Megadeth with Kerry King on guitar with that backdrop behind them.
If that's true, Dave should have made a new deal with Ed Repka, instead of having lame artwork like the one he has on the Endgame cover, c'mon Flyes????
He probably at that time wanted all of Ed's artwork to be free of charge,or something around that, so that he could spend more money on drugs...

I thought the United Abominations cover was cool, even though the fleshy Vic thing was an odd idea.

I read an interview where Mustaine stated there was a disagreement about money with Repka.

Same story with Maiden and Derek Riggs, only Riggs eventually gave Eddie away as he considered that it had become bigger that the actual band
