Storm Thorgerson, one of the key figures in album art graphic design, and who created some of the most iconic album covers in rock history, including ones for Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, died today at the age of 69. The artist died peacefully after having battled cancer for a long time, according to The Guardian.

The English-born Thorgerson had a storied career with the many album covers he created, but the signature one that may be the standout is the simple, yet stark and highly memorable triangular prism, emitting a rainbow of colorful lines set against a jet black background which made up the cover of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, an album which became one of the biggest sellers of all time and just recently celebrated its 40th anniversary.

King Aroo
Volume 2: 1952-1954
Written and Illustrated by Jack Kent
IDW Publishing
Release Date: January 10, 2012
Cover Price: $39.99

King Aroo, the whimsical, surreal, and thought provoking comic strip of the mid-20th Century, now sees its second volume of collected complete daily and Sunday strips (over 700) spanning the years 1952 -1954, released from IDW Entertainment, the premiere company lauded for their extensive and detailed care in housing complete collections of comic strips in book form.

Coming off the first successful volume, this second one brings more of the same kind of sophisticated jockular hilarity from the pen and mind of Jack Kent, a cartoonist who didn’t have formal illustrative training, which in some ways added to the allure and appeal of the strip, which combines elements of Walt Kelly’s famed strip Pogo, a little bit of Al Capp’s Lil Abner, George Herriman’s Krazy Kat, and even Charles Schultz’s Peanuts (which was in its infancy during that time).

Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Harrison Ford was a guest to promote his new movie, the Jackie Robinson biopic 42.

Ford agreed to answer some questions from the audience, so long as those questions didn’t have anything to do with Star Wars, a topic he’s been swarmed about ever since word surfaced that he could be reprising his role as Han Solo for the J.J. Abrams-directed Star Wars Episode VII.

The results, as you might have guessed, are pretty hilarious…especially when his old friend Chewbacca gets involved. Continue below now to watch the video.

Writer and actor Michael Bacall, who worked on the screenplays for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World with Edgar Wright, found footage party flick Project X, and the movie remake of the ’80s TV series 21 Jump Street, has been hired to pen the script for Weird Science for Universal Pictures.

The movie will be a remake of the 1985 comedy of the same name written and directed by the late, great John Hughes, which starred Anthony Michael Hall and Ilan Mitchell-Smith as a couple of nerds who accidentally create the perfect woman using a computer. What they end up with, however, is much more than they ever expected. The original also starred Kelly LeBrock, Bill Paxton, and Robert Downey Jr.

A new trailer has been released for The Lone Ranger, Disney’s new take on the classic masked hero.

The movie is directed by Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, Rango), and stars Armie Hammer (The Social Network, Mirror Mirror) in the title role and Johnny Depp (Edward Scissorhands, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) as the Native American warrior Tonto.
