Dunno, but I certainly wish she'd get to do something in the Prog.  Pin-ups might be nice, for starters...

Deserves better?

Snark aside, Judge Dredd: 2099 might be a good fit.

Fay Dalton on anything would be cool. That Anderson pin-up last year was stunning. Her Reaper stuff was packed full of character & style. I hope she's busy elsewhere - I see the odd variant cover.

From Project Sketchbook (one of two things she kindly did for me)...

Because illustration and advertising work pays better than Tharg? She may fall foul of the new puritanism afflicting the culture* - everything she draws is sexy.

Anyway, I heartily endorse the call for more Dalton.


* Her women aren't conspicuously strong or independent enough to pass social media scrutiny. I remember one male feminist criticising one of her retro pulp paperback covers because the female was in her underwear while the male figure was reclining on the bed, wearing a shirt and tie.

She drew a fun cover for me if they ever collect Pat's run on Dan Dare.

But imagine her on Dan Dare!
