I want to pay tribute to AALN 1 1 this Dude Droid protecting Tharg the Mighty aka Alan Grant( I bet Jurrissic Park people were fans of his work as well as Pat Mills who they kinda ripped off)
Art Carlos Ezquerra - good likeness with the chin
Young Alan and other Droids-back in hey day - like Nirvana it felt like comics were on the cusp of changing everything - I guess they did - at pleast they impacted the surface (music coulpdn't ht the Death Star either but we are getting there)
Burt 1 what a Dude! according to Saint Martins tutor would of got a job when the dude Burt was around but whoever was editor circa 95 not a chance- great to see him in human form -Ezquerra , Eric Bradbury and possibly Robin Smith are also grande for creating there robot likenesses
God Bless Burt and Brett both awesome
should be one of Alan Grant though as well as Pat and John but you bare all kinds of legend s working for Tharrg
I fell for Judge Anderson soon as I saw her - - my versions fan love just like Blondie same goes with Charley I have real love for it's brillance- good story awesome art -take in what Alans about and maybe we can change this dopey arse world for the better
Here's a wee few examples of Alan's greatness The Original Button Man - which came out when I was covered in zits and Thatch in a second terrm - these awesome stories alongside thrash metal hard core Dead Kennedys The Smiths and Ramones made life bareable for a 13 year old .
Judge Anderson who I reckon may be based on Alan's wife - I know it's John Wagners creation but he wrote her character with such affection and empathy - there was a 2000ad interview with Alan about Anderson but its gone now never mind.. mind you people still talk about his favourite story on that channel
Too many stories to cover tonight but I will return to Alan seeing as I'm trying to colour early episodes of Judge Anderson (getting a feel for Cliff's art next episode should arrive some time this year- horrible story about schooldays my mate who died was same generation a year older, Just why were people in authority 50's sadisti insane scum? I'm lucky any teacher at my school did that I'd chin them coz I only looked up to my Dad and he taught me to take no shit but met so many people who went through abuse the bastards will pay in hell, Everyone in 1991 knows this comic-same time as Nevermind good times! Thank you Alan Dude! yeah computers used to be like that lol- jeezwas that long ago? lol
