Round 1: 7 - Tom Tully or Peter Hogan - Ultimate Not Wagner Tourney

[Colin YNWA]

These match-ups for the votes are never anything less than fascintating. Today we have two writers from different era and mind sets who in many ways couldn't be more different. To abuse the observations of Space Spinner 2000 you can't see my face as my finger hoovers over the 'Return' button to start the vote between

Tom Tully - http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=droid&page=profiles&choice=TOMT

OR

Peter Hogan - http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=droid&page=profiles&choice=PETERH

What is all this nonsense you ask well we're finding out whose 2000ad (Meg and associated items) writing do you prefer? Voting - just add a comment here with whose work you prefer (and anything else you might wish to say to discuss their work). This vote closes some time early Thursday 4rd June?

Two more Round 1 votes off start tomorrow.

Peter Hogan because I like Resident Alien (I know it does not count but I could not choose so I went for outside help)

[IndigoPrime]

Hogan

[abelardsnazz]

Peter Hogan, for Timehouse and a better take on Robo-Hunter than Millar.

[Dark Jimbo]

Not too much conflict here for me - Hogan. I like his whimsical, thoughtful take on things, and can't help but feel he'd have made much more of an impression on the prog if he'd just come on board a bit later, during Matt Smith's tenure - so I love that he's just recently returned!

[Richard]

This is an easy one. Hogan, for the Zaucer of Zilk and for a Vector 13 story in prog 968 about the JFK assassination. I didn't usually like Vector 13, but that episode was very good and would have made a legitimate Time Twister.

[Bolt-01]

Peter Hogan.

[SmallBlueThing(Reborn)]

Tom Tully, because Hogan wrote Zaucer of Zilk and Timehouse apparently.

[Funt Solo]

Tricksy this: Tom Tully gets points for his extended (*cough*) homage to Killerbowl: The Mean Arena.  You've also got to ask: did all of these violent sports tales (Harlem Heroes, Inferno, The Mind of Wolfie Smith) in some way inspire Speedball, or was everything just descended from Rollerball?

On the other hand, Hogan gets strong points for Zilk.

I'm going old school and giving my vote to Tom Tully, just for sparking my interest more.

[sintec]

Having recently watched the Battle Angel Alita film I was left pondering how much (if any) influence those strips were on Yukito Kishiro.

[Buttonman]

Tom Tully for his golden ageness.

[The Mind of Wolfie Smith]

Tom Tully, for all the ideas right at the bedrock.

[Dudley]

Peter Hogan - his strips always seem to inject a bit of sweetness into the 2000AD pile.

[Colin YNWA]

Oh get yah votes in here, this one seems close from a quick look. So last chance to have a siginficent impact on how this one goes. The finger hovers over the button and voting will close first thing in the morning (Thursday)

[AlexF]

Argh quick decision time!

Just for the sheer bloody murder and my yountful love for violent sports that make no sense, I cast my vote for Tom Tully.
