"Unveiling the cover by Nelson Daniel for the BATTLE Special - out 19 September with 100 pages marking the anniversary of the Battle of Britain, with brand new work by Garth Ennis, Rob Williams, Alan Hebden, Alex De Campi, Dan Abnett, Alan Grant, Karl Stock, Keith Burns, PJ Holden, Brett McKee, Staz Johnson, Jimmy Broxton, Glenn Fabry, and Tom Paterson!"
Why am I mentioning this on my art blog? Well, although it's not listed in the PR above, I have a four panel mini-strip in there as light relief to the wartime dramatics. Although the rest of the comic is all-new, my contribution is an old strip from the 1980s that I thought would be appropriate, so I dusted it off, remastered and coloured it. I won't say which strip it is yet (not Combat Colin) but you'll find out in September! I'm very proud to be in a comic alongside such industry giants!
You'll be able to pre-order the Battle Special nearer the time of publication from the Treasury of British Comics shop at this link:

Don't forget that the Cor!! Buster Easter Special (which includes six pages of art from me) is still available from the above link.

Some heavy hitters on that list! Are you sure you're in this?
ReplyDeleteWell, yes, that's why I wrote the blog post. Why doubt it?
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm not a big fan of war comics this looks good with a great line up of artists. Really looking forward to this and the SMASH specials
ReplyDeleteRebellion are producing some great comics this year. I'm looking forward to SMASH! too. Only a fortnight to go!
ReplyDeleteI kind of thought it unusual that a small press artist would be amongst such high ranking talent but congratulations all the same.
ReplyDeleteErm... I've been a professional comics creator full time since 1983, Frank! There's my bio on the right hand side of this blog.
ReplyDeleteWell I am looking forward to reading your strip when the special comes through the post.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sid.
