Pages 8 and 9 are up next from the '79 Gordon's catalog which contain a smorgasbord of masks from various studios including Don Post Studios, Traveller's, Topstones, and others...

A few of the noteable masks include what appears to be a Don Post Emmett Kelly and Metaluna Man...

R.I.P. - H.R. Giger

The world lost a visionary artist with the passing of H.R. Giger yesterday. Distortions Unlimited made it possible for the public to own many different life-size iterations of Giger's ALIEN(s), including the first produced in 1981. Here is a one page spread for it as seen in the 1983 Distortions catalog...

Your ol' pal the Phantom has been getting beat over the head with work as of late, and with no end in sight for the foreseeable future, I'm going to start posting this catalog in parts, or she'll never see the light of day...

Upon opening the colorful cover of the '79 Gordon's catalog, customers were greeted by a smattering of poorly cut out photos and illustrations that covered the first page ... 

The only real noteworthy mask here is the 30/13 Miss Two Face mask...

Which is a good match for the  Be Something Studios 30/13 Dreamgirl as seen here in the 1980 BSS catalog...

The 30/13 first appeared in the BSS line-up in 1977 and was pictured with blonde hair in the '77 catalog ...
