Hi, my name is Adrian Salmon, I started my comics career working on the Megazine for which I drew Judge Karyn , Deathwatch and Cabal. Later I did a number of fiction illustrations when Alan Barnes was editor.Mostly I'm known for my connection to Dr Who. I was lead storyboard artist and colourist on the recent BBC Shada animation.

Anyway I'm taking commissions for the next month or so. Here's a link to my blog which has samples and prices. Give me an email if interested. Cheers!

My new signed and numbered colour print has arrived!

3/250

An accompanying letter suggests I write this numbering on my bookplate which I've still not adhered to the book!

Yes!

My entry for the contest: "Slaine the Wanderer". Homage to great cartoonist Sergio Aragonés, creator of other barbarian, "Groo the Wanderer".

Good job!

Yes reminds me of his digital cover work for sure! Nice stuff.

You can't beat service like that.

No you can't. At least they've owned the cock-up and are trying to fix things which I appreciate.

Eh. I read the digital edition and all I could think of as I read it was 'these color look darker then they should be, I wonder if they were sourced from printed books rather then original art?'.

If you look back on this thread I've made mention of this and been brought to task over it too. You are correct the printing isn't right. I was told the Com-X digital files were used to print from yet I find that difficult to believe as there is quite a marked difference between both books. Might be a printer issue. Anyway at least others are noticing now.

Sorry to raise false hopes. I've been downloading my favourite pieces all afternoon in case it ever goes for good. Too much goodness to be completely lost. Would be nice to print up in a Lulu book for personal use only of course.

Link on previous post didn't work - use this to enjoy Mick's 4 year blog.

I do *like* the bullet ridden title logo - wish they used it on the book!

Yes Mick produced full colour artwork for the series but not like this at all! I think the only thing he drew here is the figure - the rest is by an unknown hand - possibly Bill or someone aping his style. It's very nice but it doesn't say McMahon to me and I've seen damn near everything he's had printed. If someone can prove otherwise I'll gladly eat humble pie!

Thankyou. Gotta say I don't think the colour background is by McMahon at all - only the drawing of Pilgrim. The drawing style of the character is very similar in style to the 1987 pin-up featured in the gallery of the Rebellion book. Much scratchier inked. So this ad has been created from a pre-production drawing I feel.

There's going to alot of 1/250 numbered bookplates out there! But seriously I'd of much prefered to wait for somebody to stick it in and number like on The Cursed Earth volume. This is the last special edition I'll be buying I'm afraid. I will of course support the regular retail books coming up  I fancy.
