The Sarge in Sicily -Final Part+Tribute to Kevin O'Neill


 


 The Sarge-Script Gerry Finley Day -Art Mike Western (I only know this thanks to Kevin O'Neill who without his efforts to get artist writer and letterers credits  it's possible we'd never know who did what which was out of order for all the work done ) Boba Fett nod to Kevin -

Gonna have a wee break from The Sarge -I'd like to wait till volume 2 of  The Sarge comes out  and scan those pages (your own scans make all the difference as oppossed to copies from old newsprint  so the quality of these pages are a improvement from prior scans) 

I could go back to the start of story  but this was the period I started looking at comics and books as a whole  so I'm learning to read with  Fluff and Nip, Topsy and Tim  and  Battle Action, Victor & Warlord lol (this story  came out originally  when I was 4) talking of Warlord  which I liked  too although more for the obscure stories rather than the Posh  Secret Agent  - I have to read this story as a whole  about a African American Soldier    and it's illustrated by Hellman artist Mike Dorey too so it's quality but   I hope  it's written well -originally they used minimal colours you couldn't tell if he was a brother so I  gave it  a re-colour


Art Ian Kennedy

Been a shite week  -we lost Leslie Phillips  and Kevin O'Neill  I  did a quick re-colour of a 2000ad  Star Scan  I didn't over do it trying to colour Nemesis in a similar style to how he would of painted it at that time -major dude - needs a theme park.


Kev did a few awesome Dredd episodes just before Marshal Law came out it should be fun to colour those perhaps one day This dude made a nice video about Carlos which I featured in earlier post he'll be talking about Charleys War in a few days (which should be my next post here so you'll get to see it here too) I really should of done a big tribute to Neal Adams earlier in the year(it truly has been a dog of a year( but I tend to focus on comics I grew up with and stayed with although Adams art had a profound effect on  me too as a sprog -I guess I'm a bit Marshal Law when it comes to Superheroes You read Charley from week to week and realise  heros are everywhere don't matter if there super duper  or not - but so many artists I'd like to colour...

Last story I saw Kevin's  art featured the kid on front cover of  Action  that shocked the nation all because of a colouring mistake - colourists could cause all kinds of chaos back then lol-maybe I'll correct that mistake and stop Frank Bough losing it in another dimenson lol
