Axel Pressbutton

 I read on the 2000ad board recently that it had been 30 years since the publication of "Warrior"and I thought "expletive deleted" me! 30 YEARS!  As I also thought that one can't have too many misanthropic, cigar smoking, psychotic cyborgs on one's blog, here by way of tribute to that fine long gone comic is my take on  Axel Pressbutton.

Judge Hershey

The eagle eyed among you may have noticed that so far on this blog there has been a woeful lack of females and so in the interests of redress and balance (and fanboy fantasy fodder) I give you Judge Barbara Hershey. Even though in her career she has risen from street judge to hold the exalted office of Chief Judge Ms Hershey has, more importantly, long been the possessor of Mega City One's finest hairstyle.

Rich Pickings over at Zarjaz

Judge Dredd, keeping Mega City locksmiths in business as he makes his entrance in in his own inimitable style. These are a few panels from "Rich Pickings'', a strip written by Derek Hamill in the current issue of ZARJAZ, (issue no. 14 for those of you keeping count).

In a tale set aagainst the backdrop of competitive nose picking, Dredd encounters a  mean and murky world of scoundrels, gangsters, hitmen and idiots, other "things"...

          ...and "nasal violation".  Be warned kids, Use a hankie!                                       

Duel 2

This is my first post of 2012 and as I started this drawing I thought that it would be a good idea to make "Duel" an occasional, continuing series. So here we have number two, an alternative Eastern Front air battle. In this one a Soviet pilot bales out, still fighting after coming off second best in a fight with a Luftwaffe Saucer ...and the plane for those of you interested in that sort of thing is my attempt at a Lavochkin La-7. Below I've posted some images from a sketchbook which led to "Duel 2"


 This sketch of a Shturmovik vs Nazi saucer, which I did a few months back developed into this little sequence...

... the pilot struggles to control his shot up machine (by the way this is a great reference site for Soviet uniforms!)....

... and the original image which gave me the idea for"Duel 2".
