The latest 2000 AD book just plopped through the letterbox, and, oh my, what a gorgeous coverâ??one of the very best in the entire trade line. Good to see both Diggle and Williams get intro pages to their respective 'collections', too. Fab!

What's in it?

IndigoPrime · 13 March, 2008, 10:27:07 AM

Lenny Zero, Low Life, some covers and a Jock sketchbook.

Prog 524 (May '87) featured a back-cover pinup by Fabry of the characters Megrim and Robyn, who appeared briefly in Slaine the King. I seem to recall the plan was that the next Slaine series would be appearing in color, and that Fabry would be on art chores. In the end, Slaine only made a couple of brief appearances between then and the Bisley-painted Horned God series in 1989.

But look what the guys at Bear Alley have turned up... a comic strip called Scatha which appeared in The Mail on Sunday in the spring of 1987. Apparently only seven episodes of Scatha ever appeared, but don't those characters look awfully familiar?

"jock had posted that elsewhere..."

So it's a collection featuring Lenny Zero and what appears to be Macy Gray...?

And for the cover, see below. Note that it's a wraparound cover, so the left-hand chunk of the art's on the back cover.

Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa. So the back cover is white? So the Spine is white?!

OUTRAGE!!!

"So the Spine is white?!"

Well, some of it is (with black text and a chunk of Jock's image, over which are the credits, in white). It's lovely.
