    On seeing this design twice makes me question where it comes from. Did somebody make an illustration for the books or how did this happen?

      The design for the robot itself comes from the 2005 (not the 1981) movie. (trailer - Marvin appears at ~1:10)

      But if you mean this particular style of image with this font and such, that I don’t know - perhaps some stickers or tshirts or such became popular to share, it does look nice:-).

          Was the 1981 better than the newer one? I mean, still none of the movies come close to the sheer poetry of the book, but as far as a movie goes, is the former at all worth watching?
