But I stay as far as possible from any community of interest on this topic...
I hear you, im just interested in the topic. Perfect examples to me are very easily found in the movies Wild Wild West and especially The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I have googled some images a few times, and thats the depth of my research LOL.
