2000 AD Production Art
Classic 2000 AD Covers and pages
Beastie Bother!
The first piece of classic production art from my collection is from 2000 AD and Tornado #135, 20th October 1979, by Carlos Ezquerra. I seem to have a few from this period where the colours were painted onto the acetate overlay rather than the blue line base art.

A pleasant surprise seeing my art in there! I am very much not worthy!
This is a brilliant archive of material. I remember I coloured the first episode of 'Sticky Fingers' for Crisis by painting on the back of acetate. I inked on the acetate too, then flipped it to colour. I do not recommend it. It nearly drove me crazy. I soon switched to inking on board and colouring blue-lines like any sane, rational human.
