2000AD Sci-Fi Swipe File

[Frank]

Fourthed, although the redhead with the tumbling locks in the original is a pretty obvious Rita Hayworth swipe:

Is there owt that appeared in the prog that wasn't plundered from somewhere else!?!

Trash.

Is the artist for that painting Angus McKie?
I had thought it had been used in one of the TTA books, but on digging the books out, its not the same, but does share some similarities. (The TTA book is from '79, btw.)




TTA was famous for using images that had been around for a good few years previous, so unless it was commissioned directly for use in that issue of Omni, its kinda hard to date - well, without an artists name, etc..

I think I used to own that book... or my brother did. I really remember that picture? What's the cover if you don't mind me asking?

A personal fave and the first place I saw it.

Mr Austin and a photo of Ms Shilleto, maybe?

Any idea who she is?

Susanna Hoffs!

Via the eagle eyes of Albert Hammond-Bootleg: spotted at the British Museum... Rinus Limpopop Quintz.





Great find!

[COMMANDO FORCES]

A great find indeed

[Colin YNWA]

Ha! That is fantastic. Very good spot.

[Spikes]

Fantastic spot, indeed.

Looking back, i'm sure i saw this (not trying to take owt away from the eagle eyed Mr Bootleg) last year in the British Museum, but it didnt fully sink in, for some reason. Though i do recall thinking "hey up....!?! Nar, it cant be..." and then moving on to the next display.

Rinus Limpopop Quintz !!!

[Fungus]

Brilliant spot

I think most of us would recognise that face but not quite be able to place it....

[Bolt-01]

Yeah, but were Wagner/Grant/Smith trying to imply that Rinus has been to earth, plying his wares as an onest trader in the past? And that this mode of dress was the local way of honouring his visit?

[shaolin_monkey]

I can't believe they copied Ron Smith!  It just goes to show what a legend he is, eh?   

[japandroid]

Swiped FROM 2000AD!
