Another very nice reprint from Rebellion, including Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill Inside Story strip from prog 144 (not included in the 2008 complete Ro-Busters).

I was not able to source these two illustrations (I suspect the second one to originate from an annual):
The top one if from the Star Lord Summer Special, the bottom one is from the 1982 2000AD Annual.
Great collection - good to see the Gibbons drawn robo-tales as well.
A little bit of a shame that not all the Ro-Jaws Robo-Tales made it into the final version, but a handsome volume nonetheless.
Terrible cover aside this is a gorgeous volume - really appreciate the comprehensivness of the covers/pin-ups/etc.
Yeah, would have preferred the one used for previous collections.

This is an odd omission though considering it's a Terrameks cover.

I think this may have been full-size, created by Martin Bower? Wonder what happened to it...

Yeah, it's a great dynamic image and the colouring seems really natural in a way that the garish computer colours stuck over Gibbon's pin-up.... don't.

Thanks! Will add these references, and also the missing cover from 2000 AD #99 (thanks Steve Green)
Cheers Vark!
