My fave is this wavering line as Red sniffs the air. The letters are soft and organic, and that wavering tail conveys her probing the air.

The letters in the ricochet ‘pchow’ are narrow and jumpy. They feel high-pitched and fidgety, like shrapnel pinging in all directions.

Look at how he visualises the flat, mechanised ‘choooom’ of a shotgun by making the letters big and flat, but tilting like they’re firing in Red’s direction.

My @2000ad.bsky.social comps arrived over the weekend and I continue to be wowed by @simonbowland.bsky.social's lettering on 'Durham Red' and 'Ghosted'… (Cover art by Lee Milmore)

More Durham Red in @2000ad.bsky.social this week. We based Red’s jacket and skirt on Sharon Stone’s powder-blue Courrèges number from Casino (1995) as it went with the story’s ‘60s Vegas aesthetic. But with added stolen combat boots!

Mutant vampire Durham Red is back in @2000ad.bsky.social this week in HUNGRY CITY with art by Ben Willsher and letters by @simonbowland.bsky.social This one’s a blood-soaked neo-noir with Red trapped on a sleazy leisure-world, targeted by hitmen, mobsters, mutant rabbits, and smoking-hot showboys.

Ready to devour these beauties from @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social, including a nautical tale by me that asks what if Queequeq from Moby Dick was an S&S heroine and what if Red Sonja got everything she ever wanted and became the bad guy, illustrated by the amazing @mspencerdraws.bsky.social Yarrrr!

First few pages of script + finished art (by @stazjohnson.bsky.social) for the new Hawk the Slayer one-shot out now from @2000ad.bsky.social (Had to cut the title page for space. Check out my Substack for a fuller version.) Enjoy, if you like that sort of thing…

@stazjohnson.bsky.social is a top bloke (see pic for details) and we've got a Hawk the Slayer one-shot (well, it's really a Crow the Machine-Gun Bowman one-shot) out in the Christmas Prog. Twang!!

Felt cute. Might throw a priest out of a window later.

A giant mechanical ant literally hanging around the workshop with a couple of unknown FX artists in this behind-the-scenes pic from monster-movie classic ‘Them!’ (Gordon Douglas, 1954). Image sourced from Pinterest, photographer unknown, possibly lasered to death under a giant magnifying glass.

Having greater firearms experience, producer Gale Anne Hurd stood in for Jenette Goldstein as Vasquez for this close-up shot in 'Aliens' (James Cameron, 1986). Photographer unknown, though mostly came out at night. Mostly.
