"David and the Fantoons team captured Lem's spirit and vibe perfectly, not to mention the overall spirit of what the band was all about. Their attention to detail was top-notch, the art first class, and the proof is in the final piece, which is splendid! Readers are sure to feel the raw grittiness that was the origins of Motörhead in each page."  – Motörhead Team.
