Thanks to good folks over at Design Observer.

El Planeta Misterioso

Who says Tequila and Xacto knives don't mix well?

I'm really digging this set of 1950's Sci-Fi Novel covers, just one the cool sets of ephemeral goodness from El Estratografico.

And you just gotta click the above cover image and check out the detail of not only the gnarly off-registration, but the wicked hacked-up paste-up kerning job on the El Planeta Misterioso type! I love it!
