2000AD Sci-Fi Swipe File

[Link Prime]

I vaguely recall the fighter craft in 86ers heavily reminding me of colonial Vipers. Only perhaps without wings.

There was a definite BSG influence to The 86ers.
Fun series.

[Skullmo]

indeed - though they've added a gun to the jet engine's air intake, which I'm not sure is an awfully good idea, design-wise!

[Jacqusie]

Mr Austin and a photo of Ms Shilleto, maybe?

Aha! I knew I hadn't made this one up...

I remember seeing this in a Jazz mag in '91 & they had a laugh at the artists 'good taste' in models to crib from... It also explained why it looked nothing LIKE Anderson on the story inside and the artists preffered reading material at the time...

Re-reading the Shamballa book from the Mega collection, I was reminded that the spaceship Anderson uses at the end of The Jesus Syndrome story, bears more than a passing resemblance to the Narcissus shuttle from the first Alien film

Gah! That's it! I knew it was familiar..!

[Fungus]

And my street has a No 17 too!
Plagiarists!!!

Arthur Ranson's ship in The Jesus Syndrome



bears a striking resemblance to the Narcissus, the escape pod from the Nostromo.

[shaolin_monkey]

Ah crap. Just noticed someone beat me to it!!!!   

[Dash Decent]

I think you've just swiped from the swipe file!

Swipe or homage ?

Simon Bisley original

all though I  am a bit guilty of this my self: http://jamescnewell.blogspot.ie/2000/09/james-newell-covers-abc-warriors-book-4.html

[Greg M.]

On the basis it is from the same strip, I think homage is a safe bet.

Prog 76 (August 1978): Robo Hunter's first appearance featured a rather familiar looking spacecraft.....

[Albion]
