3 SKD - Tharg's Thrills. Loads of lovely detail and a nice style.

2 Dark Jimbo - Tharg Vs. Marg. Love it, though Marg seems to have entered a dumpy middle age.
I was going for a 'Supernanny' vibe. :D
1 - Rossbam - Great draughtsmanship, and great idea. Always nice to see Peef and Crumbs make an apperance too.
2 - Antdonnell - Beautiful design and colours, and that's a great Mek-Quake.
3 - Bob Molesworth - Just superb.
HM - Raggedman - Love a comic entry, and it really made me laugh.

Wow. Cheers for votes and HMs. Really glad you enjoyed it.
Embarrassment of riches this month and my first attempt at short list was a loooong list.
1. Bob Molesworth - Headache Tharg
This would rule the newsagent. As someone else said reminds me of the experimental Gilbert and George, Op-Art covers of the early 90's. But NOW!
2. Allistermac - Tharg vs Death
I'm a sucker for a bit of a meta and i love the inking
3. Antodonnell - Big Job

3rd : Uncle Fester : Cosmic Tharg....brilliantly and beautifully drawn..
Honourable Mentions :
Ragged Man : Thargs' Origin......Just 'pipped' for a place in my top three....Tremendous
Darren Stephens : Thargs' Preferred Snack..
Cheers
As per usual, some classic artwork this month. Here's the Stephens household faves and H.Ms....
1: Bob Moleswoeth. Ironically, I have a headache as I type this. Nothing to do with this fantastic pic.....I hope. :-P
2: Uncle Fester. Stunning drawing.
3: Dead man 1971. Saw this on Facebook, initially and was blown away. Great work, sir.
HMs : Archie, SKD, Bolt and Albion. But I sincerely love all the entries. Top work all and as ever, kudos to Mr Watts. :-)

HMs Steve3po, Darren Stephens, Ragged Man, judgeruffian, Unca Fester.
Very tidy bunch! O Love to Mister Machine.
GGGNNNNNNNGGGNNNNNN!!!!!
TOO...HARD.... TO PICK.....!!!
Seriously guys, I know it's the type of cliched thing you hear all the time, but everyone did a brilliant job with so many varied and imaginative ideas.
FIRST: ARCHIE - FLINTISH THARG. An excellent piece that really stood out for me because it's so damned different in style! He has an oh so subtle alien quality about him, and I loved the future design details in the background.
SECOND: UNCLE FESTER - COSMIC THARG. More of an old school style here. This is how I picture the boss when he's waiting on my pages to come. Fantastic detailed background!
Really struggled with what to pick for third place. It was either Antdonnel- Big Jobs, Dedaman 1971 - Tharg vs Thrillsuckers , SKD - Tharg's Thrills.... but in the end I picked....
THIRD: BOB MOLESWORTH - HEADACHE THARG. A very "Jon Davis Hunt" piece I think, especially in the colouring. He looks like the commanding figure you'd expect as head of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic. And props for that impressive, hypnotic background!
Well done everyone!
