Sad News about John M Burns

[Doomlord66]

Very sad news to hear we've lost another top 2000ad artist. I had the pleasure of meeting him at Bristol comic con in 2008 and he did a great sketch of Nikolai Dante for me. I've loved it ever since and now it's even more special. God bless you John, I'll miss you.

I've just re-read Angel Zero for the first time, because John Burns did the art, and found it to be much, much better than I had remembered. I think it suffered at the time from being mostly published in four-page instalments, which made it difficult to get into each week, and hard to keep track of the story; but in one sitting it's gold.

I hope it makes it into the Ultimate Collection.

Yeah, a bit of a forgotten thrill now but Angel Zero was brilliant.

I loved Angel Zero. This was one of the new strips that I was introduced too when I starting reading the prog again

Angel Zero was one of the earliest 'new' thrills I was exposed to in the prog and it has a very special place in my heart because of it, I recall it being quite dimly received at the time but intrigued to see it potentially get the reappraisal I feel it rightly deserves.

After I read I always hoped for a sequel but without John Burns I would rather not
