How much does this cover of H. P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness (by Ian Miller) look like Ralph Steadman’s illustrations for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson?

From 1962 to 1963, before he wrote a famous novel about Las Vegas, Hunter S. Thompson traveled through South America as a journalist. Fifty years later, Brian Kevin retraced his steps and wrote about it in The Footloose American. Shortly thereafter, Nathan Gelgud illustrated the whole beautiful mess. (h/t randomhouse)
