[<a href="http://ajourneyroundmyskull.blogspot.com/2008/12/aragon-black-swan.html" rel="nofollow">see this post</a>]<br /><br />An anonymous commenter suggested: "It is a crab on an anvil. The image is from Lautreamont."<br /><br />Does the book happen to mention who created it? Such a cool logo.<br /><br />WillWillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799869059793681283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394091134843173911.post-76659945571471969312009-10-27T10:33:02.766-07:002009-10-27T10:33:02.766-07:00These are fantastic.
