For many years, visitors to various 2000 AD fan sites (and even the official one) researching the works of writer GORDON RENNIE, would have seen the name of one story attributed to him that wasn't his. Upon discovering this, I decided to own up and take the blame, thus removing the blot on his otherwise sterling reputation.
Yes, dear reader, 'twas I - KID ROBSON - who penned this particular episode of THARG'S FUTURE SHOCKS, entitled SLEIGHBELLS IN THE SKY. Frankly, I thought the lettering was a bit too big, the colouring too dark, and some slight editorial revision detracted from the consistency of the meter, but otherwise it was a nice-enough little Christmas issue-filler.
The cover doubled as the 2000 AD Christmas card that year, sent from the office of THARG THE MIGHTY to all writers, artists, colourists and letterers. I still have mine tucked away somewhere, in case it ever becomes valuable. Watch out for me on the ANTIQUES ROADSHOW in about thirty years.
