Just a quick note to wish Tharg's organ all the best on it's 26th Birthday - according to the big advert in Action comic, The first prog hit the stands on Monday the 21st Feb (but I'm too tired to stay up til after midnight)!

Have a plastic cup on me!

For be it from me to be a Heretic, but I'd say Gibsons style isn't unique - it borrows heavily from Jesus Redondo's style IMO....

Ah well - that's disappointing - if there's one thing this strip doesnt feature that's in the info we already know about this strip, it's Stonehenge - that decrepit ruin looks very Lalia... I was hoping the headshot might jog some memories... Still, its not an out and out dismissal

I wonder if David Bishop, or someone else at Rebellion is still able to contact Kelvin...  Our last hope !

I've sent the 'evidence' off to Wake, so now we can only wait....If it does turn out to be Dread, who would be up for another Mills Dread story for prog 2004?

Thanks Wake!

I'll scan a couple of piccys from it that might jog his memory, plus come up with a summary of the points above - (another point to add to all this circumstancial pondering is that the 1978 annual does exactly the same trick with the rejected Lalia strip Death bug - extended by another 4 pages by what looks like the same artist in the Doctor Sin strip)

Yeah, Smiley - getting confirmation of whether it is or not would probably involve Pat Mills, as he is the only known name around from those times (though maybe Wagner might recollect it? less likely I suppose).  As I said, its a shame he doesnt do conventions, as we could have got an answer straight from the horses mouth - any way of contacting him through this site or Rebellion though?

According to the Alan McKenzie in the April 92 edition of Comics collector (later Comics World)...

The 2000AD Action Special has brought...60's characters...into the 90's.  Doctor Sin was a character originally created for Valiant, but who made his only appearance in the 1979 2000AD annual"

Hmmm - the plot thickens - was Lalia around when Valiant was about?  Would Valiant have printed such a gory story?  This is assuming Alan McKenzie wasnt misinformed himself....

I suppose the only way to know for sure would be to get Pat Mills to look at the artwork - I'm sure he would remember it - Its a shame he doesnt do conventions anymore.  "The Doctor Who of the Occult" - Doctor Sin?

I'd forgotten about the John Smith story in the action 92 annual - IIRC he said that he wrote that story for a DC character that never got revived, and just adapted it for the Action special?  I'm going to search through a few old mags and see what I dig up...
