Ian Gibson How to draw Judge Dredd

Recently reminded that there was a double page spread (likely in an annual) which show Ian Gibson drawing a page of Dredd from a Wagner (or possibly TB Grover script). Dredd is on honkers, firing at on coming traffic (he's facing away from the reader). Anyone else remember this? can the furnish me with a scan?

Oops! Northern Ireland colloquialism sneaked in there, he was on his hunkered down (I think he was technically kneeling on one knee?) anyway I can picture it!

It's in the 1985 2000AD Annual.
I don't have a copy anymore, and it wouldn't do me much good if I did because I don't have a scanner anymore either, but I see that there is a downloadable scan to be found here.

I always said 'on one's hunkers'. I didn't know it was an Irish thing.

In English English the word only seems to survive as a verb: e.g. to hunker down.
(I have dwelt among the English and have learned their speech, innit.)

Something just occurred to me, PJ.
Shouldn't you – um – already know how to draw Judge Dredd?
(I mean, if not, how much longer can you keep fooling us all?)

I have NO idea what I'm doing about anything.
