Despite all the annoying “BLASPHEMY” talk…this Adam Huges Dr. Manhattan cover is pretty awesome.

Created by John Harris in the early 80’s, some of these works would be familiar to anyone who was interested in home computing at the time.

Paul Harding’s “Tinkers”
“My goodness, I am made from planets and wood, diamonds and orange peels, now then, here and there; the iron in my blood was once the blade of a Roman plow; peel back my scalp and you see my cranium covered in the scrimshaw carved by and ancient sailor who never suspected that he was whittling at my scull - no, my blood is a Roman plow, my bones are being etched by men with names that mean sea wrestler and ocean rider and the pictures they are making are pictures of northern stars at different seasons, an the man keeping my blood straight as it splits the soil is named Lucian and he will plant wheat, and cannot concentrate on this apple, this apple, and the only this common to all of this is that I feel sorrow so deep, it must be love, and they are upset because while they are carving and plowing they are troubled by visions of trying to pick apples from barrels.”

"In the Great Silence, we see the future of technology, and it lies in achieving greater and greater efficiencies, until our machines approach the thermodynamic equilibria of their environment, and our economics is replaced by an ecology where nothing is wasted."
"Where did we come from? I find the explanation that we were made in stars to be deep, elegant, and beautiful. This explanation says that every atom in each of our bodies was built up out of smaller particles produced in the furnaces of long-gone stars. We are the byproducts of nuclear fusion. The intense pressures and temperatures of these giant stoves thickened collapsing clouds of tiny elemental bits into heavier bits, which once fused, were blown out into space as the furnace died. The heaviest atoms in our bones may have required more than one cycle in the star furnaces to fatten up. Uncountable numbers of built-up atoms congealed into a planet, and a strange disequilibrium called life swept up a subset of those atoms into our mortal shells. We are all collected stardust. And by a most elegant and remarkable transformation, our starstuff is capable of looking into the night sky to perceive other stars shining. They seem remote and distant, but we are really very close to them no matter how many lightyears away. All that we see of each other was born in a star. How beautiful is that?"
