There are a couple of Ron Cobb books, ColorVision gets a mention here, there's also the official Ron Cobb site dating back a few decades:

* Main site: https://roncobb.net

* Filmography: https://roncobb.net/film.html

* Aliens: https://roncobb.net/21-AlienS.html

and a slew of his political, environmental, and political cartoons, including a few choice cartoons about Australia in the 1970s:
