Charleys War Fanart Colouring Project-Episode 15 + Charley (between the )Wars Episode 1& 2

I think Charley was actually back in Blighty during Christmas 1916 (but it'll be a few years  till I'll get to those pages)-It's been a  good while since I posted last episode https://johnohvision.blogspot.com/2023/11/charleys-war-colouring-project-episode.html but here's my latest colouring of Pat Mills and JOe Colquhoun's Charleys War




 


The next episodes a classic and introduces one of Pat Mills greatest  villians.

This page originally came out in 1979  whilst these below are the start of Scott Goodalls Second World War  era Charley which came out in 1985 in Battle Action Force weekly ( which may or may not be reprinted one day) ,  Not the greatest sized  scans but I did enjoy colouring Joes work on these  he truly is the main man. (soon to get a Apex Edition  too just like the 2000ad artists)


 






More Joe in colour when I attempt to colour another early Johnny Red episode plus more from  Pat with the Cursed Earth episode 4 which should pop up here soon.(it's a race between about 8 different stories at the moment)

Zenith Fan Art Colouring Project -"Whitlock & Prolouge : Ground Zero"

 Back to the second summer of love 1987 and the mighty Zenith 

Something I've been working on over the summer up to now  , thought I'd  dip my feet into Superhero genre cept he's more like my type of Superhero  Grant Morrison &  Steve Yeowell's Zenith  : Phase One .Letters by Mark King (always thought it was bass player from Level 42 at the time these came out lol] honourable mention to Brenden McCarthy who came up with character designs  

I'll start at the proper start introduction to MaxiMan  "Whitlock" which appeared after The Prolouge by a year but stories in the correct order  of events


 











Good to see Zeniths universe back in 2000ad after a 35 or so years in  Rob Williams , Patrick Goddard  Steve Yeowell and Dylan Teagues Red Dragon  .

 I'll post the first episode  where Zen boy appears once I get other projects out the way (almost completed Judge Anderson plus, Cursed Earth episodes but next up will be a few episodes of Charleys War which I aim to complete for Armistace day 

But who is this Zenith geezer anyway? he  hasn't even turned up in story yet  I'll let 2000ad  explain

Hypsville 365ad Playlist Update 18

Second Virtual disc from Beanotown Punks The Gnash
A few Silver Ramons recordings from 1972
Had some Tim Muttley tracks that sounded like the Music Machine plus a few failed attempts at creating a Scott Walkeresque singer so I created the Muttley Machine
Not sure I leave some mp3s up as long as they should but everything progresses in real time when it's me
Another go at the Laser 558 era
Finkin all the time , guess it's natural
1D by the Early Burds (which is how much it cost to make)
Third Can't recording Tango Mango -I'll post the rest once Suno can work out how not repeat same violin lines
Electric Thangs .. Sticky Fingers next or Parachute
Illustration Brendan McCarthy -I had a load of Doorsy songs I'm colouring Zenith at the moment so hopefully this will link to next post seamlesly -Lux is in Red Dragon the Zenith spin off too , might compile a Zenith soundtrack at some point
