Awesome stuff, Steve. If production art like this popped up on eBay I'd jump at it like a shot; the Bolland Eagle covers I've seen just don't have the same impact for some reason.

Without sounding in any way grumpy, can you could link to the image rather than put it up here?

Otherwise scanning all this stuff to maintain the blog becomes a bit pointless.

Thanx!
Steve

I will name him Tharg, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him.

This was my favourite period for McMahon work. I know he liked to keep evolving his style, but personally I didn't like the stuff he produced a few years later such as Sláine.

Whilst this period of McM Dredd is my fave his work on Slaine was pure genius .

Agree with you there. I used to pour over that for hours! Terrific blog too, Steve.

Nice Steve keep them coming!

I like all of McMahons work, the stand outs are Fink, Slaine, and the Last American.
