M-9808/DM-MISTO


 Mistigram: this ominous grey banner image of some magical urban catastrophe was made by Dracomage for us to use as a website header in the late '90s, just in time for us to be basically killed by the web, kicking the bucket in 1998 and being very dead until flowers started growing on our grave in 2014. At which point we relaunched a website and finally got a chance to put this image to its intended use, where it remains today! Released in the M-9808 artpack/website built 28 years ago this month but unseen, for the reasons just described, until 2015.
