Here's one, although not on anyone famous. It looks like (to me at least)
the pic for the courier archetype in Road Warriors and the infiltrator in
Cyborgs is the same gal (different clothes). I've always wondered if that
is:

1. my imagination
2. a weird fluke (artist reused base picture or something)
3. a little joke (she is an INFILTRATOR)
4. what Shane's wife looks like (or something like that)
