Deathlands Ruins

In the 1980s Gold Eagle Books started a series of post-apocalyptic novels which were written by various authors but published under the artificial name of James Axler. After a nuclear winter the United States came to be known as the Deathlands, where everybody has to fight for his freedom and his survival.


But above all I like the covers of the books which are normally showing a similar mixture of mutated beasts, survival gear and post-apocalyptic ruins. The ruins are here the symbol of a lost civilization that has returned to wild primitive levels.

    lamento no haber respondido pero es que blogger no me envia notificaciones de nuevo mensaje y eso me molesta, bien la virgen de Guadalupe veamos:



    fraude



    simplemente durante la conquista se necesitaba una virgen con la que los indigenas pudieran idetificarse, por supuesto que no podia ser blanca, así que la hicieron morena, y la simbología que maneja la imagen tiene mucho que ver con la cultura... bueno lo olvidé pero crero que es la tolteca. un saludo.

  2. I like the detail put into the foreground detail of flores.Nunca better as a soundtrack to that old song by Pete Seeger:

    "Where have all the flowers gone?
    Long time passing
    Where have all the flowers gone?
    Long time ago ..

  3. Puede ser que Seeger cuadra de alguna manera. Al final era un romantico como casi todos estos aficionados de libros post-apocalypticos.
