The piece is from Kelly’s Eerie Visions portfolio and Eerie #80 (cover), both from 1977.

These are all I’ve been able to find. It should be enough to give every t-shirt in your closet an inferiority complex.

There are more, thankfully, and I’ll do a follow-up post when I have better images. The transfers were probably meant to coincide with the 1980 release of Remco’s massive Universal Monster toy line.
Lots more iron-ons and Roach Studios here.

A different version of the “Patience My Ass” print is seen in these college dorm photos from 1972.

Alien T-Shirt Transfer (1979)

Totally wicked and extremely rare iron-on. I think there were only four transfer designs in total: The egg, the Nostromo, the space jockey, and this one. The Giger-inspired title probably wasn’t recognizable enough at the time—nothing like it appears in the trailer, the theatrical posters, etc.—but it’s unmistakable now.
UPDATE (9/17/14): Jason at Contra Dextra Avenue identified the “Roach” on the transfer as most likely the t-shirt design company Roach Studios—very popular in the ’70s. Check out a vintage ad below.
