Beautiful piece of work there! Stunning!

Probably the nearest thing we'll have to a 2000ad Top Trumps..!

Lovely Nemesis portrait from Alan too!

The reprint will be available from 5th April, and is at £15.99

Just in case you didn't.

Thanks SIP - that's the thread I found

I think I've found it...

Absolutely. See the discussion under the 3A thread. The breakages on hand joints seems very common.

Well that's a bit naughty, given what they charge for them.
Where can I find the 3A thread? Is it under 'General'?

Lovely Deadlock - design-wise, one of my favourite characters..!

Kinda wish I could take part this month, but even if I was allowed to, I just haven't got time.

Hope everyone else is beavering away on something spooky.... who doesn't love a bit of the paranormal..!

I've been going a bit nuts myself, trying to catch up with old favourites and discover some new (to me) thrills.

Recent purchases by me include:

Meltdown Man
Glimmer Rats
Zombo Vols 1 & 2
Robusters Complete Nuts & Bolts 1
Dan Dare Vol 2
Age Of The Wolf
Strontium Dog Vols 2 & 3
Anderson PSI Division Vols 1 & 2
Blackhawk
Zenith Vols 1-4
Rogue Trooper Vol 3

I really need to catch up on my Dredds, as I'm only up to Vol 12, but there's so many other books demanding my attention..! I'm looking forward to seeing what the fuss is about regarding Zenith, and I'm also looking forward to the forthcoming Journal Of Luke Kirby - another one I missed first time round.
I want to get hold of Leviathan at some point, but I see you've got a copy of Stone Island - I love that! Proper, gruesome horror!

I've just bought and received the 1/12th figures of Judges Dredd, Fear and Mortis with Death on his way - all beautifully detailed and nicely articulated.

However, I do have a complaint...

I've only received these figures today, and I wanted to swap some of the hands that came with the figures. So far,  with Dredd, the ball/stick part come out of the wrist and is stuck in Dredd's hand, and with Mortis, the ball/stick has snapped off, leaving a piece of it in his wrist. At £65 each, I'm a bit pissed off, especially as they're barely out of the packaging - shame, as otherwise, they're excellent figures.

Anyone else had this problem?

I agree with Woolly, that is ghoulishly good! Excellent start to the contest!

So, I'm pretty sure I saw some people looking at a WiP version of Andy's piece in the main hall at the 40th bash. Is that possible? Great stuff all round anyway.

Yeah, I took the not-quite-finished piece with me to the event.

What can I say - many thanks for the votes! I really appreciate it and I'm very grateful!
Well done to everyone who entered, and of course many thanks to CFM for impeccable hosting duties

[1st. Woolly: Forty Years, Creep!]

Wonderful work from everyone - such a crime to only be able to choose three favourites!

Choose we must, so here goes...

1st. Woolly: Forty Years, Creep! Not just a humorous image, but a cracking drawing of Judge Dredd. An instant fave!
2nd. Leigh S: Forty Zarjaz Years! Sneaking in at the last moment with a nice celebratory piece - great fun spotting all the characters from over the years.
3rd. Karl Brown: 40 Years Of Thrill Power, Judgement & 2000ad Nice stylish drawing - makes me want to try something different myself.

HMs:
James Newell: Festival Jubilant and colourful!
IAMTHESYSTEM: Foolish Earthlings! Awesome Tharg and background characters!
Tulio Vilela1 - Lil' Tharg Just how cute is Lil' Tharg?!
MrLongTheArtist: Nicely rendered line-up of some dodgy characters!
Albion: Tharg 40: Tharg beer - whatever next..?! Love it!

Sincere apologies to those I missed out, everyone has submitted great artwork along with great ideas! 100% zarzaziness!

Wow, it's heating up this month - fantastic artwork on display here! It's going to be tough to choose some favourites again...!

Andy, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on Meltdown Man, another series that appeals to me. I have not yet bought Age of the Wolf but I am really looking forward to it. The next batch of thrill power I buy will likely be a mix of Age of the Wolf, Case Files, and finishing of my Tales of Nu Earth collection (and possibly Missionary Man...).

Meltdown Man was kinda fun in a juvenile sort of way - quite a lengthy strip as I think it was presented in one weekly run between October 1980 and August 1981. I felt that it could've been told in fewer episodes, and it did appear as just a series of set pieces for the most part, but I still devoured it in a week. Bellardinelli's artwork is just amazing, the Yujees and the world they live in are beautifully rendered and worth the book's price alone.
If you enjoyed the style of story telling of the early progs, in particular Dan Dare, Black Hawk, early Judge Dredd and ABC Warriors, you'll probably enjoy this.

Hope you enjoy Age Of The Wolf - hopefully I haven't overhyped that one...! lol
