I think those commuters may be late for work! Gnarly looking Monorail disaster scene and a fantastic 2000AD title splash by Gibbons. congrats!
This a great Bolland 2000AD title page that grabs your attention with an outstanding sci fi look
RO-JAWS and the team have their work cut out for them. Killer Gibbons title splash!
Gibbons was born to draw this title - such a great match! Congrats!!
This could have been avoided if they just fed the people in the back.
Primo Gibbons! A most impressive time period of his artwork. This reminds me of all those thrilling disaster movies of the late 70's with the action spilling out into the audience!
Outstanding opening splash - the train almost leaps off the page!
Awesome cosmic scene! I like it very much!
Love this EC cover-like art, pure nostalgia!
Great title page from Gibbons! That center image is loaded with detail and all of the characters on the left are wonderfully drawn.
This is crazy cool!
I also love the roll call on this page. The doomed train is headed for the reader! Boulder in shadow balances the black roll call on the opposite side. Crazy detail on the train. Train driver raising his arms to fend off boulders brings the human element to the title page.
That's a great point - Gibbons did bring the human side to tragedy using those tiny figures in broken and pummelled craft of various sorts. He did the same in Dan Dare whenever the Eagle was getting shot at or hit by meteors.
Still so vivid in my mind- decades after I first read it- as did you! Such a wonderful page.
Wow, very cool Gibbons splash, with all kinds of great influences, from an EC quality, ‘70s disaster flick, JLA rollcalls, and Kirby explosive action all pulling together perfectly, congrats!
Terrible story. Great art.
Ha ha. Well, one out of two ain't bad, Peter.
Cosmic goodness!
Dave Gibbons just shines on details - this page has all the incredible trademarks of a classic EC space page - LOVE it!
Amazing page from a historic Brit magazine with a coole "roll call" side art like in the 60/70s Dc team books "JLA" and "Legion of SH" books, as you mention in your detailed "description" ! Rowdy Ro-Jaws didn't change much since this first story but Hammerstein's look gladly got much cooler later and he even made it to Hollywood in the so-so, but still very nice Sly Stallone JudgeDredd movie 1995 (minus points for comic fans: Dredd without helmet in :) ! Look up my own small "ABC Warriors" gallery, Paul and greets to the UK , we miss you in the EU :)
