But if that had happened, we would have missed out on some outstanding art by Will Simpson.

According to the Titan collections the art should ahve been a double hander between Cam Kennedy and McCarthy - how cool would that have been!

But Cam was too busy with Outcasts and the Spectre for DC, so seems it was a last minute "all hands on deck" to fill the pages

It'd be good if there was some kind of rotation feature for images, but you'll have to just tip your screen (or your heid) for that one. (I'm cheating a little with the Glenn Fabry one, which was circa Song of the Surfer, but it fits with the theme).

I liked the Oz saga but I think it suffered a bit from having too many artists on it.

Interesting that this was celebrated at the time - and perhaps far more the norm. These days we expect the same artist to be on a strip for entire series of books. The Wilderlands crossover stuff felt odd jumping from Ezquerra to Hairsine.

I liked the Oz saga but I think it suffered a bit from having too many artists on it. As well as the ones you've mentioned we've clearly got Cliff Robinson, Will Simpson and Jim Baikie, and Dave Elliot and Garry Leach are also listed on the Hachette volume. I say clearly because their styles are so distinctive, so it jars a bit moving from one to another.

It's understandable there are so many artists, as it's a long saga, 26 episodes, and artists have to provide a double page fully painted spread each episode, so we tend to get 2 or 3 episode parts before the next artist comes along. Still, I love the lunacy of the McCarthy episodes, most of the art is top-notch, and the painted spreads are often gorgeous.

It does make you wonder how on earth Carlos managed to do all of the Apocalypse War, and then Necropolis, by himself. Remarkable.

I think Devlin has been moonlighting as "The Technician".

From sheridan's blog:

"A new catchphrase is introduced for Sam C Slade – the C stands for Crafty, Chirpy, Courage and Ch-ch-chicken."
