Strange Ecstasies T-shirt
Strange Ecstasies retro Sci-Fi T-shirt shows Bob’s cover art for the Michel Parry mind bending anthology of unearthly drug stories
Bob Haberfield’s cover art played a key role in shaping how readers imagined fantasy and sci‑fi worlds—before movie effects, before CGI, when cover art was one of the main windows into a book’s tone. By making these designs wearable today, the legacy lives on not just in galleries or books, but as part of everyday life.
The 100% cotton unisex classic tee will help you land a more structured look. It sits nicely, maintains sharp lines around the edges, and goes perfectly with layered streetwear outfits. Plus, it’s extra trendy now!

If you’re a fan of science fiction and fantasy art from the 60s, 70s and 80s, then Bob Haberfield’s retro art T‑shirt collection is a real treat. Now available at his website art shop, these designs are not just items of clothing, they showcase some of the most creative and provocative artwork from the 1960s through to the 1980s, a golden era of book cover art. Gods and demons, swords and sorcery, images from the iconic tales of Michael Moorcock and others, draw you into a universe of colour, rich symbolism and cosmic mythology.
The T-shirts: Iconic Cover Art Reimagined
The new range of T-shirts have been designed and reworked from the original paintings to integrate the imagery into the style and colour of the garment. In the case of images with a strong central figure the backgrounds have been removed so that the protagonist jumps out. Doing so involved Ben tracing the very lines his father drew 50 years earlier.

Quality and Sustainability
Strange Ecstasies T-shirt is made on demand, which cuts down on over‑production. Unless specifically stated, the material is 100% cotton to give comfort and durability (the Ash Grey option is 99% cotton and 1% polyester). The printing technique is direct to garment printing so it has a natural feel, rather than a print onto a transfer which tends to have a plastic feel to it and be less durable. The T-shirts are created to the highest quality in order to preserve the artist’s legacy.
Because they are made specifically for each order, there is a slightly longer delivery time.
Care for Strange Ecstasies T-shirt
- Wash inside‑out and preferably in cold water to protect the print.
- Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
- Unless otherwise specified, hang dry or tumble low heat. High heat degrades print and can cause cotton to shrink.
Strange Ecstasies T-shirt is perfect for…
- Fans of Michael Moorcock or readers of fantasy and science fiction who want to wear something from the golden age of fantastic book illustration.

Strange Ecstasies T-shirt Fits into Haberfield’s Larger Legacy
Bob Haberfield was incredibly prolific. As well as book covers, record covers and product illustrations he painted thousands of works in many styles, from abstract to representational, the poetic to the wildly surreal. His visual imagination was expansive and his talent was boundless
The art shop makes part of that legacy visible, not only in posters but now in a wearable form. Posters or art prints live on walls, but a T‑shirt lets you carry the art so that every person becomes a walking gallery.
