Hi all,

I've spotted a little bit of Kev O'Neill original artwork from 'The new Thunderbirds' up for sale - I don't know much about Thunderbirds so am not sure how widely known Kev's involvement in this project is???

I'll update the blog if I find out anything else

cheers

hello
For those that love Glenn Fabry's work I thought you might like this quick look at a comic he produced in 1979, it's issue 2 of "Workin' klass supperhero"

Not sure if there was an issue 3 - anyone else got any copies?

cheers

If (like me) you like old comic convention programmes then I really recommend looking out for the 'Strips 78' one, I've looked at it on my blog today, particularly highlighting content by renowned 2000AD artists (Gibbons, McMahon, O'Neill, Ranson, Bolland)

Cheers!

My continuing look at UK comic conventions reaches the Highlands today with a gallery from the Hi-Ex! convention. Judge Dredd features on the covers and there's even a sketchbook - something for everyone!

If you're into Warhammer (40k) then you might be aware of early '00s text & comic magazine 'Inferno' - some great covers by 2000AD alumni (Clint Langley, Kev Walker & Greg Staples)

Over on my blog I've run a few posts recently on the UKCAC 1986 portfolio that features art by a number of British comics creators...

https://boysadventurecomics.blogspot.com/2020/07/ukcac-1986-portfolio-part-3-of-3.html

In today's post there's a Bryan Talbot 'Nemesis' image and Jim Baikie and Cam Kennedy also contribute - and I just wonder if their images are of 2000AD characters or not? Any advice gratefully received.

A back issue of Comics international from late 2003 has alerted me to the presence of 4 Alan Davis images of DR & Quinch that were included in a deck of cards produced to support the 2003 London comic festival.

If anyone has more images from that deck of cards (or images from the festival itself) I'd love to see 'em - as ever I'll collect all the images in one post on my blog

Anyone know anything else about "Judge Dredd Uprising" - an immersive experience set for London next year?

I'm gathering news/images etc. on my blog but anything people know it'd be great to hear about

If you're a Brian Bolland fan then I've pulled together a list of his early work in fanzine BEM - I looked at his covers for BEM a while ago, here...

and now I've looked at his 'interior' work, here...

Dredd features in both, enjoy tracking these down

Brendan McCarthy has just teased an old project that he worked on with Carlos - my question is has this project been mentioned before? I'll collate all the info. I can find on my blog - link below

Been doing a 2-parter on my blog about Colin Wilson's early fanzine work and, in this 2nd batch of images, there's a full page Dredd & Hershey pin-up

If you're interested in seeing something different from a number of 2000AD artists then you might be interested in their covers work for Warhammer monthly (which ran from about 1998-2004)...first up is Clint Langley

If you can help me fill in any gaps in my image gallery then that's be ace, currently I have covers for about 13 covers and I'm expecting to fill in a few more gaps before next weekend but there's till plenty of issues I don't have any details of...

Hi all,
For my blog I'm doing a 'prog slog' on Dan Cornwell's art - I reckon I've got all his contributions to the prog / Meg but I'm less clear about if his work has been reprinted in any collected editions so far - can anyone help?


cheers
