I bought my copy of New Statesmen back in 1992 (or thereabouts) not having ANY idea who this Cook bloke was! I was so impressed by the design work, as much as I was disturbed by the story it embellished. Little did I know that 25 years later I’d be working alongside the fellow, designing the best-looking graphic novel (read: comics) collections in the business! Such a small universe, ain’t it?
Well, Curtis, as The Man once said to us both "Thou hath chosen a creed, a code, a way of life, and by thy choice, and by thy faith, the legends ne’er shall perish!" and it's up to us to keep them well designed!
Cheers, Dave! I have one called David Hine and the Marvel UK Migration that I'll put up at some point. I found it on my original blog. Plus I found your fighting nuns artwork scan... somewhere.
Presumably the migration to Crisis. I remember I was inking Sleeze Brothers over Andy Lanning's art and Rich Starkings was editor. They were a bit miffed with me for dropping it to do full art on Sticky Fingers!

Fascinating as always, Steve.

Yep! I was thinking about all those great illustrations you did for my New Statesmen pages.
That was my "in" at Fleetway, for which I am eternally grateful!
Well, you did some great work... and it was different, y'know. They were good times, looking back...
Such complicated work! Especially the dot one. I admire your determination!
Thanks, Tim!
