Here's a heads up for a new Blog of mine.
Got a project underway where i ask artists for their takes on two characters i've chosen for them - one a classic, out of print character from 60's/70's British boys comics meeting a modern, in print one.
Aside from it being in B&W, its totally up to the artists to decide what the characters are doing, whether they're getting along etc.
I've got a couple already, with more in the pipeline, and i'm also using the site to showcase my Black Max comissions and convention sketches where i've asked folks for their takes on some iconic characters.
All of it is inspired by Cliff Robinsons commission he did for me, which was inspired by Dredd winning the "favourite British comic character" poll i did on my "AIEEEE!" Blog, which a lot of you voted in.
So thanks to y'all too.

Agreed, it's just brilliant! I'll be hoping for a Leopard from Lime Street at some point.

Any plans to use the more cartoony characters in a realistic style? I'd be interested in seeing what someone might do with Sid and his Snake facing off against, oh, I dunno, Zombo.

Great stuff Manga! And that's a superb commission, natch.

For truth. Loved that to wee bits.

To tell the truth, you can all get screwed.

Ta for the comments folks  :D
I've a real "shopping list" of who meets who drawn by whom and, hopefully, they'll get to fruition.
Whether the Leopard makes the list or not - wait and see  ;)

O Lucky Stevie!

Jocelyn Peabody's visible panty line -- that is the indisputably The Business!!!

To think thought that DC have all these characters moldering away in a rusty filing cabinet under some stairway that been's bricked off during renovations whilst there's creators of this calibre who could unleash them back into print, ripe to be appropriated by the New Weird. Gah! It's enough to arouse Stevie's gander to the point of throwing punches.
