Description
Having defeated the Siberian Wolves in the previous story, the Heroes now take on the Montezuma’s Mashers. The Mashers seemed to be underdogs from the outset, but after arch assassin Artie Gruber bursts into the game uninvited (in the previous pages), Harlem’s player, Sammy, is injured so badly that he will never play aeroball again. A furious Harlem Heroes team then thrashes the hapless Mashers 12-0, and (on this page) Giant vents his fury into the TV camera at whoever is behind the assassination attempts.

Gibbons uses a striped zipatone to indicate the broadcast image of the Harlem Heroes’ captain, Giant. In true 2000AD fashion, space is allocated near the top of the page to display the injuries of the opposition team.

Gibbons' drawing precision is not off this world. 2000AD look is something that always impresses me. I still find it futuristic! I love it!

Goodness gracious, great Gibbons! I really appreciate the unique mix of panel size/shape/type throughout and the sequence where Giant approaches the camera and we see him pointing at the camera from multiple perspectives as he gives the speech.

This is some beautiful stuff from Gibbons!  It he would have continued in this style, he might have burned out on deadlines!

I love the art by Gibbons on this 2000AD. I've seen a few pages in person and they are knockouts. This is a gorgeous example.

Great seeing this stuff. These are strips that I have never read so it's all brand new to me.

From layout to in-panel goings on...a masterclass in storytelling.  Congrats!
