Do my eyes deceive me ??   Dredd has no elbow pad in panel 2 yet has it elsewhere. You might want to write the man and get that missing bit of kit 

What prog was that?...I have a feeling it may have been added later....'in post' so to speak.

Prog 455, and no - it was still missing (or strangely reappeared in the knife-wielding panel) when printed...

You beat me, I just checked the prog...you right. I wonder if it was fixed in re-prints, but I doubt it.

Wow, great spot! I spent ages looking at that page yesterday and completely missed it myself 

I wonder was it a bit of artistic license on the panel and it just looked better without? Will check later to see if there are any signs of an elbow bad being erased.

I wonder was it a bit of artistic license

I wondered about that too. If the pad were in place on that arm it would reduce the dynamic some, but then he would just increase the perspective on the arm, make the hand bigger to maintain the dynamic...so I think Cam Kennedy probably forgot to ink it in. No criticism, Dredd is a complex character to draw and I'm surprised more artists don't forget bits and pieces.

It also says something about the quality of the artist's storytelling that nobody noticed 

Frankly, I think that makes it EVEN more valuable.

Just picked this up today. Over the moon so I am!! 

A knockout page that, o1s1n. Well done, and thats a lovely bit o' boot knife action.

Whenever I think 'Cam Kennedy on Dredd', the first story that automatically comes into my head is 'The Warlord'. Quintessential Cam. Gorgeous stuff.

There has been quite a bit of Nemesis recently so I thought I would add this. I keep threatening to get a better scan, but until I do this will have to suffice

Cor, brilliant!

The fine Mr Skullmo has sorted me out a piece of artwork that is very close to my heart, here's the clue, any guesses?

That is too easy a clue!

SKULLMO- I WANT THAT PAGE!!!!

Great stuff Jacob....and our friends on this thread don't even know the half of it yet! 

Is there going to be a rush on Mick Austin now that a source of his art has leaked?
His Anderson cover to Prog 760 is unfortunately gone already...one of my favourite covers of all time.
Would love a page of 'Crusade' at some stage...will have to take on a weekend 2nd job in Specsavers to fund it though!

You bet; and there's possible news of a group wedding to a woman from Nairobi!

Ah Skullmo, that's the HOSH9 spread I was prepared to give up some of my Halo Jones pages for but moved too slowly.

Nice haul.

I copied the Dredd panel on the right so many times as a young teen - 20+ at least.

Love Original Art when there's some serious memories attached.

Dunk!
