As most here know, Colin Wilson followed Dave Gibbons on the Rogue Trooper stories in 2000AD and created many memorable stories featuring the Genetic Infantryman. I have recently gone through my listing of available Rogue Trooper pages and removed the sold pages to better display the remaining pages available for sale.
There are 11 pages left, most showing good images of Rogue Trooper and they can be viewed here (price details are shown with the scans) - http://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=71522
Payment can be made to my Paypal account at roydster@yahoo.com All artwork will be shipped flat, packed in sealable plastic bags and securely taped between two ½ inch thick sheets of foam core board. Postage rates will be provided once the artwork is ready to send. If you have any queries, please contact me via roydster@yahoo.com Thanks for looking! Warm regards.

Royd is great to deal with - and his packaging of art is the best I've ever encountered. Tempted to return for another helping of Colin's pages myself... Hmm.
There's a page there I'd love... but my wife would actually kill me if I spent that much money on a piece of artwork...!
Cheers
Jim
Thanks for the recommendation David, much appreciated mate :)

As a fellow collector on a budget, I understand where you're coming from Jim :) Of course, I have to do the best I can for my friend (and client) as well as make it affordable to collectors. Believe me, this is more a hobby for me as I enjoy the contact with Colin and with other collectors. Best,
Royd

Please don't think I was suggesting that the prices are unreasonable. Quite the reverse!
Cheers
Jim
Not at all Jim, I was just sympathising with budgetary restrictions :)

Very tempted. If there's anything left in a couple of weeks, I may have to go for it.
Just wanted to say thanks for the great response to date, 4 of the pages are currently on hold while the sales are progressed! Best,
Royd

Pleased for both you and Colin, Royd. There are some lovely pages there - and the ones sold already must have been awesome if these are the ones that are left. Sadly my pipeline is full to bursting, so I'm having to pass, but please post on here again when other stuff comes up for sale...
Thanks Simeon! As a matter of interest, I'm waiting for Colin to get back to me about the 6 page Rogue Trooper story he illustrated which was written by Andy Diggle.
Colin is looking at offering the complete story up for sale although he has promised a friend first refusal. If the friend passes on the story, I'll advertise it here for sale :) Warm regards,
Royd

Good to hear, Royd - I'm sure these will all be heading to very loving homes... Good luck with the rest of the sale!
My Colin Wilson pages arrived safely from Royd today (from Oz to Scotland in a week!) - scans'll be up on the Original Art Thread in due course, but I just wanted to confirm the earlier glowing recommendations of dealing with Royd. He is an absolute gentleman and bloomin' lovely to deal with, and he sure knows how to package artwork. Well worth getting yourself a page from Royd while they last! I know I'm tempted to go back for another already...
Would love to, but as my other half put it; "But you have all these pages already...In comics!" :(
Hey Greg,
Thanks for the recommendation and kind words mate, much appreciated :) Great to hear that the pages arrived so quickly and that you're enjoying the new additions to your collection!
I initially posted 11 pages for sale but added another one a little later - 5 of the 12 remaining Rogue Trooper pages have been sold but there are still some great pages left! Let me know if I can help anyone else add a wonderful Colin Wilson Rogue Trooper page to their collection :) Warm regards,
Royd

Believe me, I know where you're coming from and I had the same type of comment from my wife in years gone by :)
However, you could try the same line I used (which worked for me for the most part - haha) that they're a better investment than the comics ;) Warm regards,
Royd

Thanks Royd. I'll try it.
She can be a cold hearted bitch at times though. It's what I found endearing about her in the first place.
Worth a go though.
My latest page from Royd arrived today and I can definitely echo what Greg said; Royd's a gent through and through and his packaging is second-to-none. The art business has its share of shady types but Royd is most certainly not among them, so if you're on the fence about picking up some artwork while it's available, go for it. Drop Royd a line and see if you can work something out.
Hey David,
Glad to hear that your Colin Wilson Rogue Trooper page (and it's a beauty) arrived safe and sound :) Thanks very much indeed for the very kind comments mate, always happy to help out a fellow comic art collector!
I still have 7 great Rogue Trooper pages by Colin available and looking for a suitable home - http://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=71522
Always happy to chat about payment by instalments if that works for people. Let me know if I can help out! Warm regards,
Royd
