Doctor Feeley-Good and his real-life visual inspiration, the 77-ton 'Beetle'; apparently the largest robot ever built!

There's a certain ironic joy in the idea of something as precise as a robot surgeon having the form of the 'heaviest robot ever'.

That Crime Zone film sounds like a fantastic plot for a Dredd story - have we ever had a Bonnie and Clyde type pairing? Always love me some Chopper-style futile-rail-against-the-system heroes.

Homage rather than swipe. Always loved this 2000AD advert that appeared in Star Lord in July 1978.



Clearly Kevin O'Neill art. Based on this classic Pepsi advert https://youtu.be/jB8rnZ-0dKw.

My older brother had a T-shirt at the time with the Pepsi advert text.

A joy. Makes me think of mid-nineties Nirvana tees.

I find it interesting that two thirds of the current prog is the same lineup as Starlord in 1978!

...and that three fifths is the same as 2000AD and Starlord immediately after the merger!

Just spotted this today. Gibson's cover predates The Rook by a few years.

Yeah... I googled this after I saw you post this on FB — that issue of The Rook was published in 1981, and the cover depicts one of the stories inside, rather than being a generic painting that might have been painted years earlier and bought in from an agency.

Is that Slaine's palace or Jabba the Hutt's?

Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side.
