The cover is good and solid enough. A touch more tougher galvanised paper than a regular prog. No where near the lattice paper of the meg. The nonspine holds up pretty sturdy too. If it were a barn it could have been built by mormons. The pages paper weight feels familiar, so if its a case of modern cover production mixed with something they've worked with before, I like it and its a success for my needs.

You've got be careful not to treat it too much like a reference manual and regard it as more comfortable than an Essential X-Men card-back.

These two two strengths of paper work well together and work well with the experimental staples. There's no price ticket on it. I couldn't get used to it at first. Now it's so much better for it.

The spot colouring leaves a great opening for a Henry Flint Collection, but how long before complications rise out of larger bodies of work?

Heh, I hope this post doesn't lead to a Dredd End.

I thought the the Jock collection was wotrth it just to see the development of the artist. Fascinates me.

That t's riding that r like its no right to be there.

Which it hasn't.

Just think. We'll all disappear like GRennie plots.

If the worse was to happen of course.

Aye. It's a lamentation alright.  

Ho yeah. He's good. And fast too. Bike cannona are a testament to his skills.

Death sucks the big one in choosing his potential perps.

Literally. Corker, satchmo. Corker, literally.

Yeah. when is the official thread up? I need something to aim at.

Very kind words. There are some new boarders with Death avatars which looked cool. This had a spurring effect and a creation for a new avatar was spawned. Literally by the looks of him.

Another influence to this topic was the DVD Spiderman/Once upon a time in comics, where it said, designing your main character is easier than designing villians. Villains have to be so much more the adversary and coming up with new ones, a bit like this months meg's tales from Black Museum.

Bolland is the man then. From start to the tail on his pterodactyl shoulder pad. BTW here's matt Timsons Death head.



(sorry about that bit o' shit from my scanner under the chin.)

The fact that my first ever podium finsh was denied by a 3 way split is neither here nor there.

..And relinquishes to me a podium finish!! Ahhah! Thanks for the votes, everyone. I'm quite chuffed to be sharing with that_legendary_shark.It was one of my other favourites. Don't bite me yer bugger there's room fer two. oof!

This is a sketch I scallied together last night of Judge Death. I know it is a worthless whoring of me doodles, but what I considered when doing it, was how easily you can scrape together a creepy Death and how his initial design comes into it.

 (I remember Matt Timson scrawling me one with a biro at Bristol and we speculated that if in doubt get a Death out.)
 


What is evident is how great a villian design this macabre magistrate is. I have an inkling Bolland was chief designer. But did Wagner or Mills have a say too?

And who are your favourite draftsmen of Death?

I thought the the Jock collection was wotrth it just to see the development of the artist. Fascinates me.
