2000AD: Prog 335 (1983): Slaine - Warrior's Dawn, ep 1, pp12.

'By Lug!'

Paid full price again, but what a page! There is little more to say about McMahon's run on Slaine. One of the times that a comic book came close to fine art...these pages are singular products of a unique genius.

The medium is a thin Rotring-style pen, almost like a ball point, but the control is perfect. Just a few scraps of white-out in panels 3, 6 and 7 to articulate the facial expression, otherwise the image is simple, direct and immediate.
