Even the sound effects are pure Toth lettering. Great page - essentially he has used the layouts and put Toth on top. I can imagine the silhouette panels originally had a lot more detail and Toth felt a silhouette worked better on the page. And who would argue with him!

That is stunning. Loved that film as a kid. Always a pleasure seeing Davis nail a character.

That Batman Vs The Joker is up now. Or should I say Batman giving the Joker free dental treatment!

This is as detailed as a Bolland prelim gets. It's full pencils for a painted cover. Magnificent!

A great Thing with bags of personality! Alan's convention sketches are a " Thing" of beauty. It's always narrowing it down- which is hard when he nails every character.

Great line about Scotland's fans being being the wildest and unruly before becoming independent. Tom Tully, the writer was a Scot. Shows why 2000ad had that extra edge over other comics. Satire with a wink of politics. Fantastic art from Gibbons. Boy did the artist have to do a lot of art to compensate for the lack of colour. And boy did we lap it up! 

Peter, that was one of the first things I thought " Hmmmmm those boots like familiar......." 

Oh it's from the Ton Strng Deluxe collection book 2. And a prelim at that.  Gotta love those Ton Strong covers. 

I think it might. Have to say I love this issue and have a few ordway pages from it. Personally, my favorite Tom Strong Story. 

I think it may be Peter Sellers playing James Bond in Casino Royale.

I have a feeling Bolton enjoyed drawing the top panel more then the rest. It has the quality of an eitching and he really went to town on it.

Love this page. Totally bonkers! McMahon is a true visionary.

Great cover! First stab at Batman for DC would be Justice League of America 200. Which also included Black Canary and Green Arrow.

What a fantastic cover. Pure Bolland Prime!

Great page layout and experimentation to the page. There's a rawness to The Stars my Destination and there a  great deal of energy in the art that propels one of the best sci fi novels. 

I remember seeing this on the walls of quality comics in New Cross for the princely sum of £30. Great page. 

Fantastic page. Poor Banner. Really should be changing the channel rather than watching a green giant smackdown!

Really great page  with the original Avengers. Really like the Adams dynamic of the  first panel .
