The Namesake Series of audio books from This Is Spinal Tap

-

 






In the 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean) says he listens to classics on tape read by actors with the same last name as the authors. I designed what I thought the ones he mentioned would look like if they existed, plus I added one of my own.

The Beatles - Everest 1970

        Many a person on the internet has come up with "what if The Beatles stayed together" so I was going to avoid this.

As the show went on, they would probably incorporate more from the comics.       Above is sleeve for the DVD case and the outer slip sleeve case for this imagined series.       There was another proposed Wonder Woman series in 1967. Whenever you pick on an adaptati...
