Now there's a misapprehension Baillie should be proud of!  Definitely one of Tharg's little treasures, it seems a pity that after so many great one-offs (Crow Gift definitely being one) and two well-received 3rillers, it's Vertigo that gives David his first proper series - although at least Tharg hasn't been shy in plugging it for them!

Yeah I'd echo that. David Baillie really deserves a run out, he's not been entirely consistent but no doubt when he's good he's great. This and Ghostship Mathematica alone for me mean he deserves a series.

The great thing about tallying the number of writers who land gigs with Marvel and DC then return to create major works for 2000ad is that it leaves you with eight fingers free to do other things.

Yeah that's a fair point BUT hopefully David has his feet under the table at the Galaxy's Greatest early enough that there's a tell he'll want to tell there. Come on David wipe one iut for Tharg.

Gorgeous art.

It really is.

I've always personally liked Goddard's style, but I feel he's really stepped it up a gear over the past few years.
His recent turns on Savage, Aquila, Grey Area, Sinister Dexter and Dredd have been outstanding.
A rock solid modern 2000AD artist that Tharg is wisely deploying on numerous Thrills.

His Armitage story was phenomenal as well. Goddard is a real star.
