Interesting Doom Patrol designs on that site.

I'll probably buy this.

McCarthy's a real talent.

I especially loved Skin.

Sorry you can't buy the book yet, Brendan is talking with publishers at the moment so when that's all sorted the book will go on sale.

There's no Mad Max stuff but this is only the proof copy, more material maybe added when it comes to publication

Cheers

I've always liked B Mc. I remember copying the cover of prog 113 when I was 12!!

My god, I've just remembered how good he is. To me his later Dredd is on par with McMahon & Ezquerra.
