I do and I do!  Great stuff, as always, Steve.

There'll be a double dose of vintage production art thrills today. Carlos Ezquerra and Kev O'Neill.

Interesado?

Nice Ezquerra piece, Steve, although for me, Carlos' Fink never quite matched the skeletal menace delivered by McMahon.

Meanwhile, I'm quietly pondering what O'Neill you dug up...

Very nice, too!  Pretty much every O'Neill cover's a classic but his Nemesis ones are the best of all.

Wow the colours on that first Nemesis cover are incredible. The printed version doesn't get close.

Thanks for posting that link, Colin.  Those side-by-side comparisons make the case for some kind of quality publication based around these blindingly obvious.

I'm still a bit gutted that Tharg missed a trick and didn't include some of these in the forthcoming Dredd covers book, really.

Still, we're lucky that Steve rescued 'em from the bins, and even luckier that actually we get to see the cover art as it could have looked with decent reproduction.
