What’s not to love about this labour of love by illustrator Dusty Abell we just found over on deviantart?
We don’t think Dusty’s missed out many of TV’s 1970s heroes, including those from British series such as Space: 1999.
“This thing has preoccupied so much of my free time I’m grateful to have finally finished it, although at the same time, it has been one of the funnest things I’ve ever done,” says Los Angeles-based artist Dusty, who first posted the illustration earlier this year..
“It’s all digital: the Eagle Transporter took the longest to draw and Richard Benjamin as Quark is probably the most obscure character.”
