I'm so happy you've shown the cover to Prog 239, if I was ever forced to pick my favourite ever cover it'd be this one. Bloody love it.

You can tell that strip was created specially to cater to Belardinelli's strengths and enthusiasms. That cover's a distillation of the technology of his work on Dan Dare and the odd character design of his Meltdown Man and Slaine strips. Thanks for posting, Steve.

I saw the post you made yesterday on Rian Hughes (LINK). Now he's got his Cult-ure book published, any chance of you two working on the book you were thinking about doing together, which you said might feature your decades of work on 2000ad and other Fleetway titles? Since Tom Frame's sad passing you must be the person who's spent most time in the Nerve Centre, and no-one's better able to tell the design history of the comic than yourself. They're knocking out The Art of Judge Dredd for £50, you know.

Ah, the memories of reading this strip (along with the space truckers dictionary!) for the first time.
Massimo's art could be an acquired taste at times, but suited this strip perfectly. Just brilliant stuff, Steve!

Thanks, folks - glad you like!

I'll have a little chat with Rian about that - though, of course it won't be an instant outcome.

Cheers, Steve. Does the big 'R' initial on the catalogue stamp (Slaine cover) denote Robin Smith or Robocook? If I've got my history correct, this would have been round about the time Robin was clearing his desk and you were coming aboard. Also, have you seen the Valiant and One-eyed Jack book Mary and David have put together (it has its own thread). There's a feature on all 2000ad's early art editors, and the logo design, etc

Great to see these, as always, Steve. Especially the Return To Armageddon cover by the superb Redondo.
Havent read that strip in years, so i think its high time i did!

I reckon that was Robin, it's quite a few progs before my time.

Valiant and One-eyed Jack - sounds interesting, but I can't find the thread you mention...

I forgot nternet rule number one, a link in every post: http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,37410.msg725004.html#msg725004

Sections of it sound a lot like the the look at the changing design of 2000ad I've been pestering you to get round to producing ...
