We are fortunate that some pins got great artists and excellent compositions. I love Kevin O'Conner's S&S backglass. It's a shame they couldn't get some of the art on the playfield, too. At least the plastics made up for it. Nice to see how Lady Robin Hood carried the art over to the playfield, something that rarely happened in the wedge heads. Very pretty.

"Art is very subjective, and I'm loathe to add my naysaying, but I have a hard time really getting into artwork that has slight perspective errors / odd anatomical distentions that aren't obviously stylized.

For example, Super Score is one of my favourite backglasses because I run a women's pinballl group and it's just a bunch of women playing pinball. But in regards to artwork, I can't help but notice the oddly-long neck on the woman on the left. Same thing with Target Pool.
and the Gorgar face has slightly awkward perspective issues."

I have that same issue. But I don't have a way to ask others who feel that way to discuss them in a constructive manner, apparently. No matter the style, I expect a professional artist to have mastered perspective and human anatomy. Andrew Loomis was a brilliant illustrative artist from the 40s, Leyendecker and Finlay from earlier, all those brilliant trashy paperback artists from the 50s and 60s- all show that it doesn't matter what era or style, good art depicting humans requires mastering basic skills, unless you go really abstract. Having said that, not all successful artists have that talent. Some are just better at promoting themselves.

Hardly. Fathom, Xenon, Medusa, Flash Gordon all have brilliant artwork that carries into the playfield as well. I love and own Seawitch. Nine Ball has a pretty PF, not sure about the wizard drawing though. Iron Maiden has an oversized head.

That Canada Dry has gorgeous colors / compositions and style, carried through the playfield as well. It's rare that I see a pin I haven't seen before, but thank you for sharing that one!

For some reason when I see Moon Flight I think of Bowie and Ziggy Stardust. And I'm not old enough to have listened to much Bowie.
