Here's a Karl Urban Dredd by Dylan Teague who was very lovely and gave me some great critique on colouring (and resisted the urge to vomit on it and chuck it back in my face which others have done).



...and Patrick Goddard's Karl Urban Dredd. He had with him pages from the upcoming Savage and GOD'S BALLS but they were beautiful. A double page in particular is... dare I say in the idiom of the young... FREAKING EPIC. He also had a page script from Pat Mills which was. Well - it was amazing. Out with the novel-length descriptions of panels folks and in with

Panel 5: Bill blows up a warehouse

Panel 6: Explosion

Because Pat talks designs over beforehand a lot and leaves the rest up to the artist. Which is quite spectacular really. More of that sort of thing.

They are rather fantastic Mister Fox 

Colour me jealous.

I got a Zenith sketch from Steve Yeowell,and a Devlin Waugh by Sean Phillips (but apparently my scanner's so old I can' no longer find a driver to make it work, so no pics). Best part though was that John Wagner knew who I was off here ( ) and invited me and Spireite68 to the pub after. Lovely day was had by all. What a gent! I'm now trying to avoid nodding off before Dr Who.

This is the Edinburgh contingent reporting in!

A fine time was had by all. I bought the Fiends of the Eastern Front book so people had something to write on. Several of us, including Colin and Gordon, spent the afternoon in the pub afterwards - and very convivial it was, too.

I behaved, alcohol-wise, because I had to come home to cope with the children (my wife has a night out), but I believe several Squaxx and droids are still drinking Auld Reekie dry...

Great day at Forbidden Planet Belfast - PJ and I had the Emerald Garrison providing protection, and were ably assisted by our able assistants Nathan and Leonia.

We started signing a few minutes before noon, and finished sometime around 15:30. I had it easier, of course, because PJ was sketching.

I've no idea how many copies of 2000AD were signed, but it was at least many. The queues were never very long, but they were constant. One thing that was most gratifying was meeting all the new people who'd never read the prog but were intrigued enough to give it a shot. Plus of course there were lots of old hands, some of whom admitted to having lapsed but were considering a return to the fold!

It was exhausting, but exhilarating - hope all the other signings were as successful!

Just back from London, shadowing Judge Burdis and taking pics.

Pretty packed down in the basement, and I'm sure CF will give his report later, as well as posting pics from the signing and his tour of duty around the west wall end.

[COMMANDO FORCES]

It's all catching up to me as I feel a wee bit tired but I'm sure a shower will revive me, so I will post a few pics to get you in the mood.

WE ARE THE LAW!
