HR Giger: N.Y. City II references pot Black TV series photo from Radio Times for july 17 1969 ?


 
leading from

 

 a) N.Y. City II Lovecraft over N.Y. City (work 452) (1980) by HR Giger

 


 

 

b) Image advertising the Pot Black TV series from Radio Times for July 17 1969 referenced in N.Y. City II ? 

 On the 24th of July 2018, I find this image posted by Graeme Wood on Twitter  as part of a magazine page and suddenly make a connection that Giger saw it and found the need to integrate it into his painting.
