Six Panel Thrill Power!

So here's the (borrowed and revised) idea. You take your favourite 2000AD story (preferably spread over more than one prog), and condense it into six panels. No more, no less. Feel free to present this in any way you see fit (That includes you, Pete Wells & Buttonman  :)). Artist/Writer/Letterer collaborations are encouraged. Duplications too (I'm sure I'm not the only one who has thought of The Cursed Earth already). Sarcasm is practically compulsory...

And then you post it on this here purpose-made thread for all to gaze at and admire. Or slate, (Depending on whose favourite character you've just portrayed as an arse)

No real closing date, let's keep the fun rolling, (or until we use up all the stories over the last 30 odd years)

I'm definitely in on this - if any artists want to team up, please let me know.

Brilliant idea, Fester.

I hope this turns into one of those all-time-great threads - it deserves to. The 6 panel movie thing was good but this is genius... if I have the time, I'm gonna have a go at this! Good work Uncle Fester!

New plan for weekend:

- 1 x big stack of 2000AD materiel
- 1 x laptop computer open to text-processing-type-system
- Sufficient wine / beer / cider to induce excess creativity
- Takeaway menus and mobile phone for sustenance

Sounds like quality of life to me :-)

Ok.

I'm so fond of this idea.  If I have some time in the week, I'll get started on my first entry.

Fester old man! You've done it again! GENIUS!

Can't wait to see what people come up with for this. Wonder what Monarch will do?

I've got an idea. Forty odd episodes reduced to one page.

Any artist types up for it? PM or post to let me know.

I have a spare...
if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Okay, I've got one. (That didn't take long!!)
Zenith, the whole saga, in 6 panels. I've got the basic idea of how I'm going to approach it but will probably take a few days to get it all down....anybody fancy having a crack at it with me?
