Here's yet another unseen page from the archives. This one's 25 years old and is scanned from a photocopy rather than the original art. (Most of the stuff in my files is from photocopies, the originals having been given away or misplaced over the years.) Consequently, it's not quite as sharp or as detailed as it otherwise would be. This was intended for the cover of a fanzine produced by the famous (and now defunct) Glasgow comics shop A.K.A. (Also Known As), run by JOHN McSHANE, the late PETE ROOT and BOB NAPIER, three well-known luminaries in the Scottish comics scene. (I think little STEVIE MONTGOMERY was also involved, but at a slightly later date.)

The cover was produced in a hurry between lettering assignments for 2000 AD and other IPC publications, so it's not quite as "finished" as I would have liked. (The floor and cape are deperately in need of some shadows.) In the end, the issue this cover was intended to adorn was never printed - simply because there wasn't enough material to fill it, so it's languished in my files until now.
