The Dark Side of the Moon (1990)

The Dark Side of the Moon is a 1990 direct-to-video science fiction/horror film.  I've never seen it but I hear its above par for that kind of thing.

The King and Queen of America - Eurythmics (1990)

The King and Queen of America is a song by the UK combo Eurythmics.  In the video band members Annie Lennox and David Stewart are seen dressed up in  a variety of costumes and settings that parody American pop culture. And here's just one of them.

Solar Crisis (1990)

A huge solar flare is predicted to fry the Earth. Astronauts aboard the spaceship Helios must go to the Sun to drop a bomb equipped with an Artificial Intelligence and a Japanese pilot (as a backup if the Artificial Intelligence fails) at the right time so the flare will point somewhere else.

Harry Harrison RIP

Harry Harrison died a few days ago on the 15th of August 2013.  This is the Peter Elson's 1990 Orbit cover for The Best of Harry Harrison which I was due to blog anyway but which has now become quite timely.  Sad news but there remains a fantastic legacy of work which will continue to be read and enjoyed for decades to come.

Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD Vol 2 #16 and #17 (1990)

Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD Vol 2 #16.  Published October 1990.  This is a rather nice visual tribute to the slick and sexy suit design featured on Vol 1 #6

Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD Vol 2 #17  Published in November 1990.  Less sexy and slick but still a nice look all be it quite retro by the time we're in the 90's
