"I've been wanting to draw this for a while," says Brock. "I love Glen Grothe's original 'He's Watching You' poster from 1942. The helmet of the soldier in that design is so visually prominent, it always made me think of Vader."]]> http://boingboing.net/2012/05/03/hes-watching-you-ww2-poster.html/feed 2
