Giger should have an Alien Earth credit. Really disappointing

What is the source of that image? It looks like an AI version of Glenn Danzig, who famously used Giger's art on the cover of How The Gods Kill. (Danzig supposedly used the art without Giger's permission, so the artist had to sue him.)

Is it possible that his estate didn't want is name associated with it?

Oh if that's true it's a massive disgrace if they didn't credit him.

I really thought he did have a credit it every movie. Why stop now?

He's been left off on others too, maybe the Fincher one, can't remember. O' Bannon is credited with "design elements" whatever

They even corrected the home release of Alien 3 to get his credit in there.
