2000AD Sci-Fi Swipe File

Ah... I had no idea.

Just googled it. I blame my age and lack of Vanity Fair for my stupidity.

Uhhh....

They're both referencing the same thing - the really, really famous magazine cover (was it Vanity Fair?) of a naked and heavily pregnant Demi Moore standing in that exact pose. (Sans gun, obviously...)

[Chris Tresson]

Yeah I saw that one, and a few others based on it too. The pensioner one is a bit grim...

Johnny Vegas also did a version for a Guardian feature.

This just came up in discussion on the FB art group... The classic Gary Rice / Brett Ewins Future Shock from Prog 206, 'The Last Man' bears a striking resemblance to a story published in Heavy Metal the very same month (April 1981).   As detailed in the blog linked to below, "'Good-bye, Soldier !', written by Ricardo Barreiro, with distinctive black and white art by Juan Giminez".

Anyone know whether this was printed in French earlier in Metal Hurlant?



You can see the whole story via the link below; too similar to be a coincidence, although Brett's visuals for the ending are unbeatable...

Here's one that's been bothering me for a while...

Radio Times, August 1975, Frank Bellamy illustrates the upcoming 'Terror of the Zygons'



...then hey presto, Trevor Goring produces the cover of Prog 38...



Coincidence? I don't think so, Trevor!

Love that story! I had it in a best of Heavy Metal collection.

Weird, I meant to say if you google "Brett Ewins Last Man" it pops up in the image search.
