Aha!  Thanks, Frank -- you're a superstar.

(I'd never have got that -- last saw that movie something like 35 years ago.)

Looks a bit like the Speedo Ghost.

Ace Trucking was a few years off yet at that point.

So a potential candidate for the Swipe thread ;-)

Luther Arkwright was named for the two big engines of violent social upheaval in British history: Protestantism and industrialisation.

:lol:

Tangentially, I never realised that Carrie Fisher was married to Paul Simon (twice).  I always thought it was a SNL gag!

Having read the excellent Megazine floppy about Nemesis, I've just remembered two things that went over my head in Deathbringer the first time round: 1. The type of 'physical pleasure' Torquemada got from violent acts of revenge, and 2. The fact that he needed armour over his old chap to fend off repeated groin attacks.

This is what I love about rereading old progs - suddenly getting the sneaky adult bits I missed as a kid. I also didn't realise that Termight borrowed so much influence from Catholic iconography. I grew up in 80s Ireland, though, so I suppose it's the same as the way a fish doesn't know what water is.

There's one page of Hicklenton's that has an editorial white blob in one corner. That's because he drew an ejaculating penis in that space originally.

Indeed. I own the original art for it - you can see it in all its glory here: http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1239930

I love that Hicklenton went ahead and drew that page, presumably knowing it would be spotted and whited-out. Even more I love the feeble attempt to hide it behind the text box!

There's another notorious one, owned by another boarder, which features Purity going down on Nemesis - Hicklenton's 'gobble! gobble!' sound-effect was judiciously edited out.

Prior to all that, Bryan Talbot had included the line "Nemesis does it with Purity" on the back of a Terminator wagon.

Was there really such a panel?  Not that there's anything there to go down on...

This is true, given that Nemesis's member is, in fact, his beak. Nonetheless, Purity has a good go here: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1032423

My word.  God, I loved John Hicklenton.  Less of a shite he could not give.
