I'm putting together a Tyranny Rex book from all her appearances. I've found all the 2000ad stuff thanks to ebay and the sellers here. Can anyone find me a comic with this image in? I'd rather not buy the graphic novel unless anyone has a cheap copy. It's from the fleetway reprint of the early steve dillon & will simpson material. Was it ever an advert in other fleetway comics? Your help appreciated.

It's by Fastner and Larson. There's a website for 'em here: www.fastnerandlarson.com/ (http://www.fastnerandlarson.com/) but it's blocked at my work so I can't check.
Hope this helps!

Interesting that the cover there also shows her as being brown.
Anyway this also underlines the fact that we need a TR trade.

Don't think I've ever seen that image as a star-scan in any prog or special.

I think on of the early covers (mccarthy maybe) showed her as pink rather than green. Since the early stories were b&w I guess it wasn't always obvious as to her colour. Thanks for everyone's help. If anyone can locate a copy of the issue please let me know!

Yep - on the first two covers she was kind of tan and then Jim McCarthy had her as pink. She went green with Dues Ex Machina which was the first time she appeared inside the prog in colour. I mentioned it to John Smith (I was wondering if she was supposed to have been green all along or if they changed their mind later) and he seemed not to have known about it (or had forgotten because it probably isn't that important ;) ).

Is there any chance an advert for this graphic novel might have appeared in one of the other fleetway comics of the time - I'm thinking of "third world war" or "newstatesmen" - the CRISIS reprints - can anyone check?

It's not in 3WW or NewStatesmen. Thanks for the help. Can anyone who has the Fleetway reprints of NECROPOLIS look inside and see if it's there. Or flog me the TYRANNY REX graphic novel for £10?
