Charleys War Cover by Joe Colquhoun from near the end of Battle Action Forces run in the mid to late 80's then it became something sillier Battle Storm Force. Glad it's back in it's proper state which would be the late 70's early 80's version of the title ,
More about Charley's Blitz after this episode which takes place on the first day of the Battle of the Somme back when Charley Bourne was just 16 years old
It's taken me a while but I got there in the end.. just two more episodes till the end of chapter one "The Somme" then depending on how I feel or if can actually find work I'll start on Chapter Two "The Saga of the Lost Platoon" which appeared in the second Titan Book , but each story arc which Pat Mills expertly wrote will be there own individual chapter
Story Pat Mills Art Joe Colquhoun Lettering John Aldrich and Jim Campbell.
It's taken me a very long time to do this what with having to go to hospital or care homes and my mothers eventual death so a tonne of effort has gone into colouring these-they're a fair bit smaller crap scans I'm hoping Rebellion will bring out a volume eventually so I can get better scans
With Scott Goodall on writing duties and Joe Colquhoun providing the visuals.
I 'm very down I don't need people singling me out for there anti A.I stance so now I Can't goof about for a change without been made to feel awful just I did something with tech that I don't truly understand and I get it in the ear -now if I put these image into a prompt it would be done in seconds and it would be slick and I'd feel nothing .You see on my birthday i uploaded a few images stills and front covers of famous characters from 2000ad Star Wars Battle and action re done in an a.i style but they made me feel like they can talk to me like that or rather talk around me like that (you're more robotic than me) , that I don't like -so you won't see any of my cosmic slop on feckbook or anywhere now as they bummed my trip and it was just an experimentation .Don't tell me how or what to do things after this dog of a year or I might just do a killbot prompt that brings about the end of everything . That would suit me just fine right now
Having said that I get it there's no merit in it as this really was hard work when you get to a finished state it feels like you might of done something unique like Joe's layouts, brushwork and expressions things like that can't be mimicked or replicated ,so perhaps it's for the best if I stay clear from new improved super intelligence , dumb will do. I wanna live in age of Rojaws though...Ooh before I forget
Mike Zecks original sketch for cover of Marvel Super Heroes "Secret Wars" featuring a few extra characters
First comic picture I coloured after Mum's passing I could just hit the bottle or go to waste but colouring stuff well sometimes it's therapeutic in a abstract way does help.
