Wow. Cheers for votes and HMs. Really glad you enjoyed it.

Embarrassment of riches this month and my first attempt at short list was a loooong list.

1. Bob Molesworth - Headache Tharg
This would rule the newsagent. As someone else said reminds me of the experimental Gilbert and George, Op-Art covers of the early 90's. But NOW!

2. Allistermac - Tharg vs Death
I'm a sucker for a bit of a meta and i love the inking

3. Antodonnell - Big Job
Like the 'pause' after droid destruction but before the final crush

HM Archie, Uncle Fester, Hoagy

Really difficult to choose

3rd - Deadman 1971 - Great image, lots of fun naming all the thrills and a clever design
2nd - Bob Molesworth - Background distracts from a good solid drawing...but thats the point!

1st - Uncle Fester - As soon as I saw this I knew i wasnt going to win....again but its the talking part (and practise) that counts! Well done that man!

HM - SKD, Allied72, Flip-r Mk2 and Bolt01

Another fun month to draw an image for, good choice of subject.

Looking forward to February's comp already!

Darren Stephens · 28 January, 2014, 09:26:16 PM

As per usual, some classic artwork this month. Here's the Stephens household faves and H.Ms....

1: Bob Moleswoeth. Ironically, I have a headache as I type this. Nothing to do with this fantastic pic.....I hope. :-P

2: Uncle Fester. Stunning drawing.

3: Dead man 1971. Saw this on Facebook, initially and was blown away. Great work, sir.

HMs : Archie, SKD, Bolt and Albion. But I sincerely love all the entries. Top work all and as ever, kudos to Mr Watts. :-)

GGGNNNNNNNGGGNNNNNN!!!!!

TOO...HARD.... TO PICK.....!!!

Seriously guys, I know it's the type of cliched thing you hear all the time, but everyone did a brilliant job with so many varied and imaginative ideas.

FIRST: ARCHIE - FLINTISH THARG. An excellent piece that really stood out for me because it's so damned different in style! He has an oh so subtle alien quality about him, and I loved the future design details in the background.

SECOND: UNCLE FESTER - COSMIC THARG. More of an old school style here. This is how I picture the boss when he's waiting on my pages to come. Fantastic detailed background!

Really struggled with what to pick for third place. It was either Antdonnel- Big Jobs, Dedaman 1971 - Tharg vs Thrillsuckers , SKD - Tharg's Thrills.... but in the end I picked....

THIRD: BOB MOLESWORTH - HEADACHE THARG. A very "Jon Davis Hunt" piece I think, especially in the colouring. He looks like the commanding figure you'd expect as head of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic. And props for that impressive, hypnotic background!

Well done everyone!
