Part 1 of La Guerre des Mondes by H.G. Wells - illustrated by Alvim-Corrêa (Brussels 1916)

One of FoL#2’s favourite guilty pleasure films is a John Candy piece called Uncle Buck.

For Christmas, FoL#1 has bought him a nice Ghanaian poster of it from deadleypreygallery.com

almost indistinguishable from the original

Magnum seemed ubiquitous on the rock festival circuit around that time.
