This Illustration is a remake of the cover to Robert Heinlein’s “Starship Troopers”. Before I had ever heard of Robert Heinlein, I saw the film based on the Hugo award winning novel and thought it was just a terrible big budget rip off of a cancelled TV show called "Space above and Beyond”. So you can imagine my surprise when I discovered that the movie was based on Heinlein's book and that the book inspired a whole sub genre in science fiction. GIANT MECHA! I was never fond of any of the covers done for this novel so thought I'd take a shot.
