I suppose the latter's done on a computer though.

I love how someone's about to call for Batman in the Mercyful Fate picture.

Sorry, I can't make these images show up... anyway: http://home.swipnet.se/sonoloco10/stockhausen/36apics/S36Ar.jpg

All of Stockhausen's catalog on his own Stockhausen Verlag label has magic marker artwork. Compare with the Boredoms (e.g. Super Roots 3, 5...)

What's that stuff in the background of the Super AE cover? That's not on my copy...
It's strange, too, because I have a laptop, and I can only see the background stuff when I tilt my screen at a different angle.

I think that's Amazon's scanner getting some of the inside booklet art through the booklet's relatively thin white paper.
