Non 2000ad artwork that you own ....

[ming]

There's production art and there's production art... I've seen (often) acetate copies used in B&W artwork reproduction /printing process but these are a long way from the one-off, hand coloured pieces such as those featured to such effect on Steve's blog.  Check out a few of the 2000AD covers he's posted there, Bob - I'm sure you'll get what I mean.

Thanks for the info guys...
So...if I understand correctly......they are ( 'Rare' - Thanks Skullmo, got the joke relating to a previous thread ) ....essentially photocopies of the originals, usually on acetate,  and then recoloured / tidied up to recreate the original......albeit in sharper inking and 'fresher' colouring...And colouring / lettering may ( or may not be done by original artist / letterer )..... Is that about it ??

They certainly look good, but don't think I'll be tempted down this route.....FFS, it's bad enough    trying to get the pieces I actually want,  without adding even more to try and collect !!.....I can understand the collectors' though, it certainly appears to be considerably cheaper than the 'route' I've chosen...

That is a very nice page indeed, James - and ive often popped by on CAF to take another look. Seem to remember being quite keen on Fighting Mann, but i never did get to see how this strip ended, so i wouldnt mind a reprint of this, either.

Yeah, that's an absolutely fantastic page (great to see it on CAF by the way, James).  Looking at how the action is presented and the way that Cam guides your eye with each panel, it's clearly the work of a very accomplished storyteller.  Cam still has a bunch of Fighting Mann pages available, I think...

Cracking stuff! I loved Bisley's Hellblazer stuff

Indeed, some very nice art there, C.M.K!

Some very nice Biz pages there CMK.


Here's a poorly photographed pic of the 2nd best comic in the world 'OINK'.
No 80's childhood was complete without the 1-2 punch of an issue of 2000AD & OINK being read back to back.

The artist is the legendary Lew Stringer, and is notable due to the fact he doesn't do much painted work.
It's also the sole reason that I couldn't afford a Three-A Mongrol figurine...but I think I made the right decision!

[Link Prime]

Slightly better pic this time...
It's 'Pete and his Pimple', again from Oink, again by Lew Stringer.

[Skullmo]

Lew Stringer is great! I loved oink.

[Call-Me-Kenneth]

Some more Hellblazer pages, especially for Skullmo!!








A Bisley office scene, no less!

[Skullmo]

I love Biz's Hellblazer stuff. I was trying to get a B/W page when the cover came along and I just could not turn it down.

You picked up some great pages there!
