MIST0426/ATONALOSPREY-MICHAEL_CRIGHTON-JURASSIC_PARK
Mistigram: @atonalosprey was so preoccupied with whether or not he could render #ChipKidd's iconic cover art design to Michael Crichton's 1990 bestseller #JurassicPark as #teletext #ASCIIart... he didn't stop to think if he should. This screen was included in last month's books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

MIST0426/CT-D'AULAIRES_BOOK_OF_GREEK_MYTHS
Mistigram: perhaps Cthulu was overcome with hubris, his tragic flaw, attempting to depict everything in the heavens and on the earth using only 80 columns, but nevertheless he attemped to adapt the cover to #DAulaires 1962 Book of Greek Myths, a formative collection, to #ANSIart, and managed to cram in, if not exactly exalt, all of the subjects. This depiction of #Helios' solar chariot was included in last month's books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection.

MIST0426/BLIPPYPIXEL-J_R_R_TOLKIEN-MORDOR
Mistigram: in this scene from #ReturnOfTheKing, #Gandalf the White (atop Shadowfax) surveys siege towers approaching Minas Tirith, Mordor smouldering in the distant background. This #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen was drawn by @blippypixel and included in last month's books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection. For Gondor!

MIST0426/WA-ATLAS
Mistigram: a guest apperance by Warpus of Lazarus, this #ANSIart entry in last month's books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection is a Polish historical atlas, clearly frequently-consulted judging by the wear patterns on its cover.

MIST0426/CT-RC
Mistigram: trotting an old joke around the track once again, in last month's new books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection Cthulu made a batch file DOSbox adaptation of George Nachman's #RichardCory Interactive Adventure from 1998, a joke about #EdwinArlingtonRobinson's 1897 poem from over a hundred years earlier. This is its splash screen, with its weird Braille-like low-#ASCIIart logo to accommodate the dictates of the MS-DOS command line. You can play it via https://16colo.rs/pack/mist0426/CT-RC.BAT or see the original at https://www.llamas.org/corey.html
