 MyGrimm...non repro blue ROCKS! I live by it. I use non-repro blue pencils to lay out entire pages, then bring the lead in to tighten things up before the inks. As soon as you scan in B&W after inking, the blue just drops right out, and cant be seen. If you'd like to see, I can always post up a color prelim scan for you to check out. Just LMK.
Cheers!

Uncle Fester, your guilt trip worked! I didn't get my crayons out, but I did manage to find my markers.    I dont really do the color thing very well, but if someone who does feels inspired to color this up, just holla at me. 

This entry is loosely based on the cover to 'Judge Dredd –The Henry Flint collection'. Since the Mrs. Gunderson's size difference was quite substantial when compared to Old Stoney face, I had to take a few artistic liberties, but Henry's cover was my inspiration.

If you read 'Mrs. Gunderson's little Adventure' you'll be quite familiar with my favorite Mega-City Eldster. Someone should check her meds...

P.J.!! I'll be sure and pick this up! I'm sure this will be an amazing comic, and you are awesome.

Like mygrimmbrother , I'm getting squeezed with other deadlines this month, but will do my best to try and sneak an entry in if I can...but after Uuncle Fester's entry it almost seems like a waste of time! It's a beauty! 

Hey Bolt,

Is it an oversite, or did JD 'father figure' not make it in this issue? 

Cheers gang, another SOLID comp! Here's my 2 cents....

1-Pete Wells 01
2-CraveNoir 01
3-Uncles Fester -pillow war!

And, I sound like a broken record every month with this, but H.M. goes to..... Buttoman! Your stuff cracks me up, you are indeed a sick man sir.

2 and 3 get my vote...

#2 I'll use to keep the coffee flowing while I work on #3!

Hey all, check it out....Wasted #2 got a  10/10 review from //http://www.comicbitsonline.com

WASTED No.2 by Bad Press
Magazine size, 64pp
Full Colour, UK £3.25

Has it really been a year since #1? This was one of the items that escaped Postman Mangler yesterday and I have to say it is a treat.

I mentioned that the first issue left me very surprised because I had not expected such high quality printing - I think I assumed, for some reason, that this was an old style Underground Comix. Well, it is an Underground-style comic when you look at the contents but no dodgy printing. Top quality.

The Kerr cover is this issues centre spread poster and looks great but better still, you don't lose strip pages when you remove it as there are only ads. And this poster looks as good as Jon Haward's from #1.

Alan Grant and Gibson Quarter's "Meat Head" strip starts the show rolling and sets the mood. Grant's "Tales Of The Buddha" features all out combat action as Buddha [before he was enlightened of course] and Jesus kick ass. And Jon Haward does his usual brilliant job on the art but then, this IS Jon Haward and like Big J and Buddy he don't mess about!

Alan Kerr, naturalement, provides the Lusi Sulfura strip - she was sent to Earth to drag souls to Hell - but couldn't be bothered. Great stuff.

"War On Drugs" featuring Johnny K -Agent of R.E.T.R.I.B.U.T.I.O.N. is written by Alan Grant and drawn Gibson Quarter [pencils] and Colin Barr [inks]. Wonderful work with extra "oomph" added by the colour work of Jamie Grant and Derek Dow.

Grant also writes The Dopranos which is drawn by Jim Devlin in a very nice art style. "The Devil's Arse", "Dirty Dog", the wonderfully drawn, coloured [and written] "Black Cape", "Total Fear" and other contributions make for a fun read and I was really happy to see Mark Stafford in this issue contributing "Glyph". Oh,and you must read "Holmes Has It Large" by Martin Hayes [script] and Adrian Bamforth [art]!

I am hoping issue 3 appears more quickly and that Wasted is at the beginning of a very successful and loooong run.

10 out of 10 - oh,and you have to be over 18 years of age to buy this!

Yikes, I've just read this back and I was more than little harsh there, sorry GQ! Thanks so much for your measured and (overly) tollerant response!

I will pick up issue 2, just to support you.

No worries Pete! I work very hard on my art make sure it isn't a 'waste of paper' ,so I appreciate the support. Feel free to post up (or PM me) your thoughts once you've had a read through. Also, I'll be happy to sign it up for you at next year's Bristol con! Hell, I'll  even sketch on Johnny K on the mag for ya.  

All the best

Gibson

Ah Buttonman, I love your twisty twisted sense of humor!

Congrats lads! Well done Rad. I was hoping you'd take it.

Looking forward to the 'cover' comp suggested!! Post the 'official version' up soon Jim, and dont forget to take summer vactions into consideration when you draft up the deadline.  

Cheers

Gibson

No worries Pete, its not a comic for everyone.

I found issue #2 ( now in my hot little hands!)  better than issue 1...its like anything, we'll get better as we go.

For my $, it's worth it just for Iain and Fraser's Black Cape! I love this strip. Alan Kerr's 'Lusi Sulfura' is excellent as well.

Cheers,
