Two Law Enforcement Operatives Walk into a Bar...

Steve is defending his 2000AD Art Competition Winner title with this:

Monsterolology is a forthcoming graphic novel with Script by Gordon Rennie, Art by PJ Holden (right), Colouring by Steven Denton (left) and Letters by Jim Campbell (middle).

Escape To Victory

I recently had to cut this panel from a script whilst revising it:

Very close on Soldier 1. We can see his terrified expression through the mask.

SOLDIER 1: JESUS CHRIST!

A shame as the religious allusion was deliberate, but I had to cut it to make way for something cooler. As a writer who does tend to love his first drafts, going back and tweaking is a skill I probably need to get better at.

Steven, on the other hand, seems to do pretty well on the first attempt.

The Secret Project

Following the news that the legendary Carlos Ezquerra has been recovering from lung cancer, a band of 2000AD fans got together to organise a unique "Get Well Soon" comic with a print run of exactly one.

To avoid spoiling the surprise whilst getting the comic together it went under the codename of The Secret Project.

Steve and I contributed a page:



Unfortunately, this page was not included in the published version due to a cock-up somewhere along the line. However, I have it on very good authority that it has been printed out on glossy paper and now resides with the rest of the comic.
