Notes
Mogul's 1986 Demon Queen release is one of the more recognizable examples of recycled VHS artwork in the format's history. For years it was thought the illustration was originally created for the 1982 British VTC issue of Umberto Lenzi's Nightmare City. However, Pre-Cert Video member "Hellochas" recently turned up the backstory behind this image. It turns out the painting is from fantasy artist Les Edwards, and was actually commissioned for the 1976 Corgi publication of Fred Mustard Stewart's book, Star Child. It was used again for its reissue, pictured to the right. Excellent work, "Hellochas"!
The original 12" x 8" gouache on board piece can be purchased from the artist's website for a measly $720. Prints are also available.
While the Mogul tape is not readily available on VHS, Massacre Video has issued Demon Queen on DVD.
